Dawgy from Midlife Vices by celebration guns

I’m alone in my house
With no one to talk to
Except my dogs
These days I’ll take
Their blank stares and confusion
Because it’s easier here
Than in the real world
Where I feel lost
People. Places.
Indifference on their faces
Well I don’t know just what I’m expecting
When I spend every minute protecting
Myself from getting bored or rejected
Clearly it’s just what I’m projecting
Well I remember a time
When I felt safe
In a crowd of a like-minded people’s acceptance
Now that I’ve pushed everyone away
Can I find it again someday
I’m making some calls
I hope they remember the way it felt
Back when I was full of excitement
Now I’m going out
And trying to smile convincingly
They see right through me
Well I don’t just what I’m expecting
When I spend every minute protecting
Myself from getting bored or rejected
Clearly it’s just what I’m projecting
Well I remember a time
When I felt safe
In a crowd of like-minded people’s acceptance
Too bad I pushed everyone away
