For some reason,
People don’t understand why I decline
Invitations to go out.
Do I say hi, hello or hey?
Do I give them a hug or a handshake?
Did I laugh to loudly?
They probably think I’m corny.
Why are my hands so sweaty?
Should I stand up taller?
Am I slouching?
Is there something on my face?
Should I have said that?
Do they like me?
That’s what it constantly sounds like
In my head and sometimes
Some semblance of peace is what I want.
And I won’t find that on a put in the wild.
