The Emulators

I met a friend through a friend.
And my circle started to blend.

I'm not particularly loud.
The guy escaping the crowd.

You may call me impolite.
Niceties I recite.

Too many names, too many faces.
And unconvincing embraces.

I can't laugh at your jokes. I'll sneak outside for a smoke.

I can't remember your name.
But am I really to blame?

I only met you this weekend.
And now you talk like we're best friends.

I really don't have an ego.
But I can't call you amigo.

You're the hundreth acquaintance.
I wish that I had the patience.

You don't know much about me.
You fill your phonebook devoutly.

You ply on the peer pressure.
I'll fly away on my zephyr.

You already ask me for favours.
You guys are quite the appraisers.

I did'nt know you guys last year.
Let's all go out for a cold beer?

Truth is...
I struggle to like you.
I'd be the same guy without you.

Appreciating Awkward Moments

Have you ever wondered what it's like to have awkward moments everyday. They're unavoidable in my situation and they're really annoying. It's not that I don't want those moments to disappear.

An Englishmans Home

So the world outside my window. Can stay right where it is. My home is now my castle. And in it nothing gives. A dam is built from flowers. That surround the castle wall.

Crawling Into My Shell

When the world seems to get too large, too quick or too scary, I crawl into my shell. Natural introversion takes over. When other's natural opposites push me into places I can't go, My mind retracts.

Accept Me/Your Choice

I may not be perfect. Handsome and shit. If this is a problem. Then deal with it. I may be quite nasty. Or possibly grumpy. To stay friends with me. The ride will be bumpy. I'm normal. I'm easy.

Why...

Can't a boy and a girl just be friends. Yes, they are of different sexes... Your point?.

Wicked work-enjoyed itπŸ˜‰

Wow! You have to know someone for a year before you'll go have beer with them? As someone in the beer manufacturing biz, I simply must point out the faulty logic there ; ) Givin you a hard time all in good fun. It's a good piece!

I can relate to this. Why do some people have to add you to their lives on the basis of one or two meetings? Why can't they accept that sometimes acquaintances can be enough? You say hello, smile politely, chat about trivialities, move on. It doesn't make you best buds so why pretend it should?

Oops, minor rant there :/. It's the shallowness of it all that bugs me. End of rant :)

@ckahn you work in the beer manufacturing biz? I'm jealous. But yes having a beer with someone is a very sacred act for me πŸ˜”.

@jojo72 there...there.

@unsuitableguy ; this is great, I agree that people are sometimes false. I also think that if we're always closed to other people and don't open ourselves up then we may be missing out on people who could change our whole lives. Really great poem, a good talking point 😊

@PoppyA thanks πŸ˜‰

Mate, it's cool. But not everyone has the same speed with us. Look closer, u'll find some of them r ur real friends ;)

@kivihe oh I know. Hence the title "emulators". Thanks for reading.

@Fly10 thanks πŸ˜‰

@unsuitableguy Agreed. Beer is sacred
