Keeping Up Appearances

You know who I am.
I'm the know it all
Who jumps at the chance
To show off how much she knows
And make everyone around feel ignorant.

You know me.
I walk too fast
In a determined stride
Directly to where I need to go
Never dallying, Never late, never talking.

You've seen me.
Writing in the hallway
Outside of a locked door
Waiting for the chance to converse
With someone worth talking to.

did you notice
the way I'd look up
Expectantly
hoping you'd be
the One I'm waiting for?


Are You?
