i was at a house

i didn't know anyone

no one spoke to me

i felt awkward

why was i there

i didn't belong there

i couldn't begin 

to even try to relate

my attempt 

would only humiliate me

i never could understand 

what this place is about

this society 

i couldn't enter

even my family 

acquisition consumption entertainment killing time

i don't belong in this society

i'm a ghost in it

yet i'm here

secretly living

it's strange here

i was a stranger here
