A Room Full of Happy People

They put on their party shoes
They cranked up the stereo 
They jumped up and down
They were happy
Merry
Ecstatic
Elated at the news they heard
They sang and sang
They woke up the neighbors
They really didn’t care
They were enjoying the moment
They were in no mood to stop
A DJ
A dance floor
A room full of happy people

She watched them dance
She was in no mood to dance
They stole her spot
Her spot for inspiration
Her perfect writing spot
She wanted to write
She needed to write
But they seemed not to care
She was upset
She needed to let it go
Her head was filled with so many tales
So many…so much inspiration
They just wouldn’t go
So she sat in a corner
And she watched
