it's a hard damn world
amongst they who hold you in esteem
I feel soaked and invisibly conspicuous
drowning in my loathe
of your space
where you stand
tall and proud in this moment
self satisfied man of honor.q
rare does the rate of my heart lift
in joy around you anymore
it's sad and bitter and I feel their snarl...
and I reach for my friends for shelter
for company and comfort
....
then I put down my phone when you give me that smile.
