weird
surrounded by laughs you don't recognize
faces you don't know
no one
saving you a seat
calling you over
wanting to tell you a story
spaces between seats because most know no one
can't strike up a conversation because i don't know them like i know you
informal small talk
because deep conversations don't exist
some seem to have connections
i seem to have nothing
holy cow, i love this one. wish i had seen it earlier, definitely beginning of the year, summed up in poem form.
I like this a lot jack... i definitely know what you are feeling, its weird coming to a place where you aren't recognized like we were at good ol STA! It's still a little uncomfortable.. you know being here and not there! Love it jacque!
jack attack is my hero.
