The Crowded Room

Standing in the corner

Holding my drink

I wondered who I should approach

Who did I really want to talk to?

~~~

Another social event

More idle conversations

After a long day of meetings

I wondered if it really mattered

~

Could I sneak out

Without being noticed

And spend a quiet evening

Alone

~~~

I wouldn't be lost

In a crowded room

If I sat on my bed

With my own thoughts

~~~

Would anyone notice?

Would they care?

If I wasn't there

Their conversations wouldn't cease

~~~

Decision made

It was time to go

Oh, Noooooo!

That guy from accounting is approaching

~~~

Now I'm stuck

In an endless conversation

Pretending to be lost

In his words

~~~

Perhaps it's time to make excuses

Fill up on another drink

Get lost in the line to nowhere

Before I disappear

~~~~~

Sometimes, I just want to be a wallflower at company social events, and other times, it isn't difficult at all. Here is my little poem for the "Lost-ish" unofficial challenge. Please click on the link below to read the other great poems that have been entered.
