Sitting off to the side

Wondering my friends aren’t here

It’s so goddamn loud

There are too many people here

Left AirPod in

Listening to my own music

It’s low-key overwhelming

The speakers blast other music

Phone set to vibrate

Getting a text from my friends

They say they’ve arrived

I love hanging out with my friends

Let’s do this against sometime

I’m sure I’ll be fine

Standing alone in the crowd

Overwhelmed by the loud
