My cousin

My cousin goes in a bar wrapps herself up And wants to be the center of attention She wants every guy to scream and moan at the sight of her face I want to sit in the corner of the room Left alone

My cousin goes in a bar wrapps herself up
And wants to be the center of attention
She wants every guy to scream and moan at the sight of her face
I wan to sit in the corner of the room
Left alone
Untouched by anyone
Observe anyone as a ghost
I often think about that
Which of us is ubnormal
I think I am

not so abnormal to want to be center of attention...a little prideful, but sometimes we need to have the focus on us. I am for watching others do that...the background works just fine for me. Yes, a few typos but an interesting piece...might tend to those typos because this is a good piece and you probably would rather the focus was on the story you create rather than those.

I think we are all what we are with our interests. You are right about typos, sometimes I change them and sometimes I live them. I think both me and my cousin are different and have different approaches in life. Thank you for stopping by and sharing a few thoughts with me. I appreciate that.

yeah ... i think we are all abnormal normal :)))))) sitting in the corner of the room has a distinct advantage point .. no one can sneak up behind you .. and one can scope out an ever widening 90 degrees of "line of sight" ... all that's needed is a favorite beverage ... shadows and maybe drifting smoke ... a few typos (maybe) ... well defined characters says i! .. my personal favorites are the ghosts :)

:) Your comment was so smokey my dear. All the scene makes me want to leave home and get to the scene you are describing. Getting that coffee, observing the ghosts, meanwhile you are a ghost, drifting, event the typos, are cool when you are all alone :). You put a smile in my face.

Possible typo line 4 wan??. Seems to be a universal story. Nice work.

[a_methyste]

I don’t like being center of attention either. Completely content to shoot pool with whom I went with and observe others around me. I will socialize with people I know but don’t go out of my way to gain attention

[a_methyste]

That is me too, as soon as it becomes more than two eyes I run away. :)

If I’m expecting a lot of people
Like a concert or something like that I’m fine

[a_methyste]

I would be happy to be around them, but talk to only one of them. :) But maybe I can get away with more too, because on high school I have been talking in a crowd and felt calm. But I do not feel like doing that often. I want to be left alone.

[Poetic Beauty]

I understand that completely

There is a time and place for everything... Sometimes the exhibitionist in us takes over, at others we want to hide away. There is no such thing as normal. The poem captures the thoughts we have, so often needing reassurance. If only we could be content and feel good, whatever.

I am glad there is no 'normal'.

[a_methyste]

You always have an original point of view. Yes lack of normal brings release and freedom. Thank you for taking time and sharing your thoughts with me.
