Hello, it’s nice to meet you and I’m really glad I’m here.
I’m happy, effervescent, and I’m sure to bring you cheer.
You’ll tell me your life story before you disappear.
It won’t take long,
A beer, a song,
Another stranger comes along,
They whine, opine,
My attention confined,
Just to steal a little sunshine.
Until I am left, unhinged, unreasoning,
And I go screaming into the evening.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

Oh this was delish! It felt like being inside a people-pleaser’s internal monologue with a megaphone.✨
I absolutely love this. Keeping your shine is definitely what you should do. :3
A short poem and yet you packed so much into it. It had me wanting to cry at the end. I hope no one steals your light, Amos, because you deserve to shine brightly.
