We make fast friends
We talk easily and with ease
Conversations of odds and ends
A kindness not deeply appeased
Similarities in what we do
One for comfort the other for laughter
Both in attempt to hold back sad views
Never quite at that happily ever after
We both hold out hands of false happiness
People are always trying to grab more
Always a slight tone of unhappiness
Someone’s foot is always halfway in the door
We use the term fake it until you make it
We carefully navigate new water
We smile even though inside we are lit
We shine even in mucky deep water
When finding true kindness we cling
Desperate to feel
Never looking for that quick fling
Always coming with a big grin
Our light is very apparent
Our laughter is a contagious bug
We always please and are pleasant
Everybody sees us as if drugged
Our souls hardly ever really noticed
No one taking the time to know us
Always trying to steal our light unnoticed
Always trying to steal our mellifluous
