Buzzing, a poem by me

My skin is buzzing
Sitting alone, at the dinner table
On a Monday afternoon
And I feel daunted,
But as though I can
Possibly
Take on the world.
If the world,
Really the world, is what I get
None of this fake 
Impersonal stuff 
Everyone seems to care
So much about, but
Something real. 
Like clouds, and cats, and trees, and bees,
And kindness.
But with music buzzing in my ear
I'm unable to move forward
Or do anything at all.
I am not ready
To take on much at all.
I am just a someone,
Who's sitting alone at a table 
Who's got too much buzzing,
Who's got too much going on inside her head.

"Buzzing"
