Don't look at me; no I ain't one

(yeah....it's a prodigal son reference; what of it?)

Sometimes I feel like a third wheel.
Someone on the side, not really in it.
Just there for the entertainment value.
People aren't themselves around me.
And I can't be myself around them since I am too busy fulfilling my job as comic relief.
As the diversion, distraction.
The one who is there just because.

But when that doesn't happen.
When I am the one talked too.
I can feel out of my depth.
Thrown in the deep end.

I am stuck between two worlds.

I only hope I can carve out my own

  2. Not true - this afternoon for me was basically just me with nothing to hide behind. Whether you be taking the role of "Comic Relief" or not, I was still able to converse at ease.
