​How can I dance

When everyone else is crawling?
How can I weave
When everyone else is wobbling?
How can I smoke
When everyone else is choking?
How can I swallow
When everyone else is choking?
How can I behave
When everyone else is still learning?

How can I eat
When everyone else is trying to shop?
How can I drive
When everyone else is flopping?
How can I wear shorts
When everyone else is shaming?
How can I pray
When everyone else is blaming?
How can I stretch
When everyone else is moaning?
How can I pay my bills
When everyone else is still owing?

How can I greet my plants in the morning
When everyone else claims to have a green thumb?
How can I smile with pride
When everyone else is miserably numb?
How can I do
When everybody else can’t?
How can I remain silent
When all everybody else wants to do is rant?

How can I have my own party
And not invite anyone?
How can I say, “No,” to their invitations
When everybody claims to always have fun?
