Disappearing Act.

Lights, and bling Fools, and screams Its all the same, Just a different name Creepy shades of gray Blurs of people, And conversation Without obligation Living in the profanity Of frosty lip gloss tubes In worlds consumed with outward appearances Just dump out your brain You stupid pretty girl I’ve seen you do it This isn’t a thing about thoughts or wisdom Or even the search of it This is about people, Doing exactly what is expected of them Getting too loud Too processed Too, used up. Making false escapes, Only to have familiarity come to them instead Go ahead, Run away With the safety in knowing They’ll follow you. -Taylor
