Party Girl
by on January 28, 1996 in Poetry

I’m a shy girl
I get nervous
See me squirming
In my chair
I pour myself a drink
Or two
Now it’s not
The same girl there
I ramble on
I’ll make you laugh
The party girl is here
I’ll be aggressive
And play games
Because it helps me
Not to feel
Like the shy girl
Who just wants
Someone
To sit down by my side
And talk to me
No more
And I’ll stay calm inside
I’m just a shy girl
Who gets sad
Takes long walks
And cries
At twenty-two
I feel so tired
The party girl
Must say goodbye
