You have nothing to do
nothing to say
and you're certainly not impressing me.
So why are you here, who do you know
and how is it that you still have this ability to repress me?
I can't stand what Hollywood has done
to me
because I feel
as if a fish
in a bowl, where there is no such thing as
reality.
I try to depict love
like how I feel it should be
but other times it's like my mind just can't make
itself up
and then I am not any more free
than I was a second ago.
It's like choking me to find what makes me real
and when I think I got it
it is not any more real
than what I see everywhere else.
Which is nothing like the movies.
All I inherit is bruises.
And others go on cruises
and I still feel useless
and mind you
I am not that way.
I am just ashamed to live my life so
vaguely.
I don't quite know what to do in order to proceed more bravely.
I hate that I have no concept
of what is hate and what is love
and all I got
is some bullshit story that this man
and that woman
and everybody else that is human
is telling me to see.
Well obviously it is not easy
and I know that s**t is cheesy.
But do you not want something more?
Don't you feel a restriction
one with every possible provision
and then you're faced with a decision
on whether you want to be happy
or a productive member
of this s**t hole society.
It is insane how I can't fathom why I can't just rake up thousands in credit card debt.
And then I will just be set.
Go bankrupt and start a clean slate maybe when I am like 40.
I know that time will come to an end shortly.
So why am I wasting it?
How does one waste a concept anyways, s**t.
For all I know, when this is finally over
I will be the only person left
and then I will wonder
why I was not any more grateful
for the s**t that I already had.
Because what's a person without another
I just keep getting further.
I argue until I get sick of it myself
and then for some reason I walk out with my head high held.
Which is just stupid,
I guess I just need to cool it.
I get to some point, where I feel like I am so good.
Like everything in my life is so productive, as it should
be.
But there is still so much left that I cannot see
and it drives me mad, again and again
as to why I feel like he doesn't love me.
Even though he does.
At least hopefully,
I feel it usually,
but lately
I've been skeptical.
Because it just seems logical
that I am not good enough,
and it just makes things so much more tough
on me
to me
inside me
beside me
around me.
I am blinded by concepts that do not exist
and I keep thinking science is this joke
on humanity
to keep us all numb.
Science has got me too though, I am just as dumb
as anyone else
living in their shells
unable to fathon anything worth noting
just like me.
Love is not just a chemical reaction
it is a spiritual attraction.
Humans however, by natural instinct
are not monogamous creatures.
So why do I like this new society's features?
Love him forever,
and I feel like I should.
I more than likely probably could
love him forever.
But it isn't the same as the movies make it out to be
and I am not exactly clever
enough
to put an end to my own vicious cycle
because the modern man does not live
he merely exists among a crowd of people
who just like him
have nothing left to give.
