Stranger

[Sarah THC]

people only know your name
when you're the next best thing to silence.
high school's such a game,
but i doubt it stops here.
I'm sorry i'm just not sociable like you,
the right words don't come to mind
my humor, nowhere to be found.
Resting on that same scale
i'm nothing but a drifting shell.
Who else notices this fimly resin
lodging my throat?
Just quiet, an introvert;
each awkward joke filling this space
it's me, this box, and a whole lot of dirt.
And I really don't mind the suffocation,
sometimes.
Anything to clear my head.
Be quiet, look pretty,
easy enough.
if only i could perfect the latter.
