Sitting at a social function
I do not want to leave the room
I despise my isolation
I’m calm inside my living tomb
I do not want to leave the room
The people out there scare me rigid
I’m calm inside my living tomb
Outside my manner is frigid
The people out there scare me rigid
I’m alone on the precipice
Outside my manner is frigid
I wish I were not so anxious
I’m alone on the precipice
I despise my isolation
I wish I were not so anxious

A timely reminder of our addictions to make sure to be there where the ‘music’ plays; driven on by our anxiety about being left out of becoming a nonentity, we are willing to undergo agonising psychological torment.

I couldn’t agree more. I think i was always that odd one out who doesn’t want to be of the part of the crowd and wasn’t affraid of nonentity either. i used to get worried about it but now i have accepted myself like this and it has brought me so much peace.
