Petty
A whisper.
Almost silent from afar.
It’s distant, but it’s chilling,
Yet, it almost makes me laugh.
A twitter of gossip,
A comment here or there,
I could indulge their little game
To watch, as they all stare.
Maybe, they think that I don’t know
Don’t see their flittering looks,
But I’d rather stay, stuck up at home,
All cozy with a book
Than prance about like a pawn
Just a piece to their sick game
I told you once, I’ll tell you twice
It makes me laugh, I do not feel their pain.
