I hate parties...

[TheGoddess]

They're playing our song
Get up and dance
We're young, we're beautiful now
We have no cares
Drop it like it's hot
Shake what your mama gave ya
Leave it all on the floor tonight
Show me what ya got
Hop on that horse
Twerk that ass

..no
Uh.. no, no not me
I'll pass

I don't.. do this sort of thing
This isn't my scene
Not at all

Slap a smile on your face, turn down the invite
Stay in your seat
Get reeeally interested in the red solo cup full of "punch" that your friend gave you

Restrain yourself from running out the door
Restrain yourself from murdering the guy that keeps grinding on you

Pretend to bop your head to the crappy music
Pretend not to notice the booze, the sex, the drugs
Weed, Ecstasy, Heroin, Acid, Mushrooms, Pot.. just pretend not to notice

Pretend not to notice the girl that's being lead upstairs, holding on to some guy
She can hardly walk, can hardly see, she's scantly clad, one of her heels is broken
She's drunk out of her mind

Pretend not to notice you're the only one who isn't dancing
Pretend not to notice you're the only one who will choose not to hookup tonight

Tell yourself there's no place you'd rather be
Tell yourself you're having fun
Only a few hours left, you can do it

You can watch another underage teen take a shot
You can watch another girl "take one for the team"
You can watch another guy pass out
For some reason, you've accepted it
You're numb
You're apathetic
You don't care
This is what normal teens do
It's life
It's okay

..right?

I hate parties

@thegoddess this is a grear story of anxiety and not feeling like you fit in somewhere, the beginning feels more like a list than a poem, but it does pay off when you get to the part of what you're witnessing. Good job.

OI OI OI Thanks it means a lot coming from you

[US poet]

@thegoddess you're welcome. I look foward to the next great piece you do.
