The Loneliest Sweet Potato

so, i’m at the grocery store because i feel sad
i feel sad because nobody is in love with me
nobody is in love with me but everybody loves me
everybody loves me because i’m good at making people feel good
i’m good at making people feel good
because i’ve got a lot of practice on myself
practice on myself because i feel sad a lot
i feel sad a lot but when i’m making
people feel good, i feel good for a little bit
i feel good for a little bit and then i get lonely
i get lonely and i am uncomfortable in my lonely
in my lonely at the grocery store i practice trying to
make myself feel good by pretending i’m a regular person,
buying her groceries not a very sad person trying not to cry
crying gives me a headache, headaches makes me want to crawl into bed
and crawling into bed is what sad people do
what sad people do when they are lonely
looks a lot like me at the grocery store.
in my lonely at the grocery store i feel sad
but a i look just like everybody else
while picking out avocados and lemons
items nobody refers you as «comfort food»
comfort food makes me want to crawl into bed
to crawl into bed reminds me of two things:
i am sad and i am alone
i am alone at the grocery store moving slow in the condiment aisle
everybody knows in the condiment aisle
it is perfectly acceptable to stand around for too long
stand around for too long and i will began to tap dance
'tap dance lonely in the grocery store' is a fantastic name for a book
i think to myself while waiting in line to reach the cashier
the cashier seems surprise when i asked her how her night is going
her night is going 'ok' she says
she says nothing else except cash, credit or debit
she waves goodbye
goodbye is the saddest word i know
the saddest word you know is my name
my name walks around at the grocery store and feels less sad
less sad because at the grocery store at least nobody knows
there’s nobody in love with me
