socially distant

i am socially distant

most conversations

commence in my head

i do not miss

the chit chat parties

the walls of private

the acceptance to proceed

i live

in the possibilities

inside my head

i no longer dread

what you think of me

i am distant

my thoughts

to your thoughts

you may not understand

where i am coming from

or know where i’ve been

i have returned

to the girl i was before

before the rolled eyes

the snubs

the irrational ignores

i am socially distant

and from way over here

i can love you more
