People Like You But

By Sammy Ginsberg

not enough to invite you.
you're on the outside Sammy.
I bet everyone feels like they are on the outside
I bet we're all on the outside.
No.
I bet we're all on the inside, we just don't know it.
I know it.
No. No, I don't.
Know why?
Because I pick isolation over friendship.
I pick silence over chatter.
But, every time I do, I wish I hadn't.
Except that I don't.
Oh, the paradoxes of life.
Make me smile,
make me happy.
You're not alone.
Right?
