Summary: Inspired by a number of dinner functions I've been to, you try to blend in and be normal but its not you and situations make you realise you aren't the same as everyone else. There's also falseness all around.




Seeking to be normal,
a common cancer.
Perception,
is not who you are.
Only you know that.

Dimmed lights welcome me,
into traditional feasting.
Anticipation,
of a jolly evening.
I am more comfortable this time.

Factory-line important males,
lounge in supremacy.
Hesitantly,
they engage me.
Ruby alcohol fuelled chat.

Dazzling fillies strut,
jewels amongst cogs.
Decorate,
a plain backdrop.
Softens the mood.

Royalty sits above,
the peasant majority.
Encouragement,
dished out to the deserving.
Warm fulfil ness.
