"Neonic Light"

sebastianantioch


Popularity doesn’t fit me

But dang it tonight is where

I’ll try it if it means

Getting a look from you.


You’ve been on my mind

For days.

Yeah, my friends all know it

And let’s be honest you’ve been messing with my mind.


Can’t say that this isn’t

A new feeling but wow

You rock that dress tonight.

I’m just dancing in this neonic light, trying to catch your attention.


We dance and dance

But you keep on looking away.

The purple pinkish after fade

Just erupts in my brain.


“Am I doing something wrong” or

“Is it just that she’s interested in

Somebody else”?


I’m just dancing in the corner tonight!

As you and your friends huddle

Together in your own bubble

As I try to think of a way to talk to you.


Can’t help my insecurities,

After all I’m not used to

Being liked.

It’s always gotta be in this purple pinkish after fade.


2 hours to midnight and I’m back

At square one!

No real sense of time because

Honestly I’m losing my mind.


The madness began at sundown,

We all dance and dance without

Reservations.


Gotta think something fast on the fly,

Or then she’ll just get too uninterested

If I don’t even try.

But who’s to say she just doesn’t already care?


My buddies are chuckling,

Saying that I don’t got the guts to talk

To her.


Running outta time but

There she is in the neonic light,

Can’t help but admire her pink lips from afar

But here I am scrambling to break down a coherent thought!


I’m trying to get to her

But the room’s just too crowded.

The music explodes over and over

In this purple pinkish fade, I’m losing my mind.


This is just an atonal rhyme!


Dance dance! It’s all

I got to try! Gotta give it all

I got! Why am I breaking down

Here, especially now?!


An hour to midnight and

Here I am freaking out!

There’s nothing left to do but

Enjoy the madness in this purple pinkish after fade!


I gotta do something now!

There’s gotta be something I can do!

Gotta ask her to dance now!

There she is ! It’s now or never!


And the clock struck midnight and

Everyone danced away.

Leaving me alone in this purple pinkish

After fade.


They all walked away.

And I’m left in the moonlight

Alone yet again.

My social anxiety won in the end.


Never got to dance with her

And it bums me out.

But then the thought gets to me…

She just wasn’t interested in talking to me!


Alone in the purple pinkish after fade.

I’m rolling with the punches!

Dance dance! Losing myself,

Dancing all alone!


Past midnight and I’m still

Awake and alive!

Rejected but still partying

Until dawn!


When will this waiting

For someone who actually wants

To dance with me end?!


In this neonic light I go

Trying to escape it all.

Dancing until I’m freed from the pain

Of heartache!


The neonic light helps hid

My sad smile as I just

Embrace the isolation…

Wondering if I’ll ever be enough.
