Restless nights
That you don’t want to spend alone
But going out just feels
Like so much work
It never goes
How you hope it will
You usually end up
Alone at a bar
Wishing something exciting would happen
But instead
You drink beer
And scroll through your phone
While the people around you
Buzz like bees
Happy bee’s
Drunk bees
So many of them
Seem to be enjoying the moment
And resentment sneaks up
A bitterness towards happiness
Unjustified
And
Misguided
But the beer helps
Soon
You’ll
Have killed a few hours
And a few drinks
And you’ll find your way home
Just to be
Right where you left
Alone and home
Soon
Sleep overtakes you
And tomorrow
You’ll have a chance
To try it again
Maybe tomorrow
Something exciting will happen…
