Is it still a hazard if noone cares about the hazard?

Is it still the truth if noone believes it's the truth?

Is growth still growth if the very thing that made it grow, makes it die?

Is it still justice if the justice leads to crime?

Is it still an answer if it makes me question why?

in the deep i found a treasure
on the far side of never
never dared to venture
deeper than what's deemed safer
never been discovered
never been claimed
i didnt claim the treasure
it wasnt mine to own
so i swam back to the surface
back to the familiar
back to what is known
discovering a treasure
his identity was shown
in the way that
he
hung there
for the world
to see
a mistake
forever repeating
a story without an ending
never comprehending
his true identity
a mistake
forever repeating
a friend is someone who is there for another
who is considerate
who is kind

how to appear sane:
smile
be outgoing
surround yourself with others
talk about your health regime
even if said regime doesn't exist
never speak out of turn
never make a scene
all negative thinking must remain inward
there are other people to not be drained
never, ever, ever ask for help
don't admit you are struggling
don't say that life is hell
have a full time job
if you don't have one - make one up
if you have dared to miss some sleep
cover that **** with make up

how to appear sane:
be forever friendly to others
even if your friendliness is fake
everyone else will always know best
when you are mistreated by them
wear it.
learn to hide it.
learn to drink it.
learn to eat it.
learn to slice it.
learn to burn it.
learn to deny it.

how to appear human:
cry when your body needs to cry
sleep when your body needs to sleep
talk when you need to talk
create your own regimes
they don't have to make sense to anyone else
if your life is hell
then it is hell
how to appear sane
get rid of the myths that come with sane
get rid of the myths that come with sane

i don't want to be excluded
they just want to begin

he does not want to be left with nothing
she wants to have it all
i want to find out the objective
they don't want to play anymore

he has already lost
she does not know the value of what she has won
i want to unlearn the objective
the objective killed someone

he did not want to lose
she only wanted to win
i wanted to be part of something
they just wanted to exist
they just wanted to exist
