Brain Captures

I think it’s funny—
Being alone in a community space.

Where you have every chance for company—
Yet you are still alone.

It’s funny—

Not in the “hahah I’m laughing” way,
But the “yeah that’s just my luck” way.

You could have every opportunity to be alone—
And yet when you want company—

Emptiness.

It truly is funny—
How the universe listens.

And it truly is funny,
How they respect your wishes—

But only once those wishes change.

I want to be alone—
But I also want people to talk to me—
Notice me.

Even if I’m alone in the room—
Especially when I’m alone in the room.
