Anti-social Butterfly

Anti-social Butterfly 

It's almost that time of year again for me.  My vacation will soon be over and I'll have to work with people, again.  I prefer dealing with imaginary characters because I know I am anti-social.  I wasn't always like that, but since I'm dealing with a different culture, I find it easier to keep to myself than accidentally insult someone.  I wonder how many other people feel like this. 

Anti-social Butterfly

By Nomar Knight

I here you claim to be anti-social

So you sit away from everyone

Eat alone as if you're hoping

To become invisible

I see you! Do you see me?

You react with disdain

When our peers gossip

You're about respect

Afraid to get burned

I see you! Do you see me?

Pretty people try and say hi

Your mouth curves

Eyes wander round

Thinking why do they bother

I see you! Do you see me?

Sometimes you forget

And smile at someone

Say the nicest things

Yet I wonder why you're alone

I see you! Do you see me?

You may think you're fooling

Everyone who glances at you

Not realizing I know a secret

You're a kind soul

I see you! Do you see me?

Don't have to be afraid

Though we are human

You may get hurt

If you decide to care

I see you! Do you see me?

So be prepared

For I'm a coming

To bug you until

We become friends because

I see you! Now look at me!
