2.2 as it’s the second year I’m doing this.  It’s far easier than NaNoWriMo which I totally blew off.

Outsider

I sit still watching
Wondering when my voice will come
Hoping for a chuckle, a laugh
anything
from these people.
I sit silent watching
As they think me vain
think me stuck-up
(but never saying a word to me).
And I sit and wish
and wish for words
(any clever words)
that will make them sit up
and realize
I’m an okay guy.
