Bars

Bars are as loud as large forceful speakers,
Makes me anxious, I play with my sneakers.

Hubbub, chattering, hugging, screaming, cries,
These are part of the fear that never dies.

It makes me feel alone, helpless, and sad,
Cause I feel no one loves me. Makes me mad.

With stares and glares, my innocent heart pounds
Like a kitten’s cry, thanks to such big sounds.

However, I still attend my friends’ gig,
Just cause I want my friendship to be big.

So think twice, before judging how I look.
It’s probably cause I act like the rook.
