Hello summer
Anxiety greets me
at the door
Looking down at myself
Wearing long sleeves
"I'm always a little cold" I say
but I'm  just desperate to hide
Despise despise despise

Social media
Shows colorful drinks
Laughing around dinner tables
Sunbathing on the beach, picnic in parks
Friends and friends and friends

Barbecue lights, food and fun
Leaving the city for their summer house
Big gatherings in the backyard
Family and family and family

Here I am
Pale skin, open schedule
Greasy hair and leftovers
ketchup stains on the couch
No notifications on my screen
Loneliness is never
more present
than it is
in summertime
