There's this girl

in the centre of her world

She is constantly surrounded

by people whom she talks to

and speaks well to

has good relationships with

The people around her

think that she's a sociable person

Yes in fact she is a sociable person

Yes no doubt she can talk to people

well enough to ensure that she will never feel the cutting cold lonliness

But her advances and approaches

rarely feel

sincere.

It's as though

she's talking to you because it is only right to do so, in the society of ours where being able to smile and talk is critical to one's survival.

As though

behind the face, deep delving into muscle contractions and through entangled nerves oddly wired

into the core of the person, it repeats, with monotonous fervour,

I do not feel the least obliged to talk to you.

I am what I am.
