Is My Scene Over?

Last night I spent $10
To feel almost completely alienated from what I once knew
$5 at the door and
$5 for a jack and coke
That was more ice than jack or coke
In a plastic cup that I crushed after eating the last ice cube

A room where I knew 3 people
Other than the one I came with
A girl who hides her true feelings behind a smile
And has no clue I know how she really feels
And 2 others who I’m not particularly convinced
Were all that excited to see me
As much as that I paid to get in

A room of strangers who remained strange
Which for me is strange
Cuz I have a penchant for talking to strangers
Attractive young women, with their boyfriends
Or too damn young for me to feel right talking to them
And what guy wants to talk to some strange dude?
These weren’t my people

4 bands, none of which I was particularly invested in
I’d seen one of them before, but I didn’t go to that show for them
Not exactly impressed
At how they all sounded similar

You’re reaching for something
Reaching too far
You’re not quite getting there
I wasn’t connected

The best moment had little to do with what was on stage
What could have only been a mentally challenged individual
Making people in front of me uncomfortable
Just by being there, and maybe trying to dance?

Yeah, he sat on the stage at one point
But he amused me
And I didn’t feel bad for him
Until someone came and led him away by the hand

I think people didn’t know what else to do
They felt bad for him, even though he made them laugh
I laughed because he made them uncomfortable
Tonight it wasn’t me making people feel uncomfortable

Another reason why I don’t venture out to bars etc. 5 bucks a drank’…think I’m made outta singles or something. Plus whats the point of going to ‘mingle’ when everyones too kool 4 skewl up in da club? Meh..I don’t mean to bash or skewer it..as an introvert, there is’nt alot I like. Scuse me. *tips hat*

I like the part about the girl who hides her feelings.

random: people are strange characters, in new york u can always be amused.

Been feeling the same way about going out. Lately I’d rather grab a six pack and kick it at the house.

I really like the structure of this. It’s not quite a conversation but it’s not pretentious either.

I too talk to complete strangers, but sometimes no matter how hard you try there is nothing that you can do to reverse an uncomfortable situation.
