Happy People Poem by Kevin Patrick

Don't you hate.
That awkward silence
As if there's an odor
And you're bad bacon

It's when people talk
And laugh with care
And you sit and watch
Glancing a dare

Then you speak
To break the ice
But their expressions
Makes you feel sliced

You try so hard
By telling jokes
But embarrased smirks
Just say you're broke

It's tough to hear
The cloak that ticks
As the only banter
When you killed the bliss


So you return
To the house within
Watching a window
Of happy people


It feels so nice
To never try
When others live
And you can hide


...From the happy people
