"I'm definitely on the spectrum of socially awkward." - Mayim Bialik
Anxious foot-tapping, knee-bouncing
Shaking, faking smiles and polite nods
Nothing to say; Everybody making plans but you don’t care
Nothing to do but write on a napkin in the corner
People notice; hands cold but face getting warmer
*******
New location, loud voices but same impatience
Wishing I was someplace else,
but also
Wishing the group couldn’t function without myself
Wanting to sleep, tired eyes, clothes unkempt
Instead I stay, thinking all these words best left unsaid.
