I came to realise that the girl I passed on the street who didn't smile back wasn't ignoring me because she was consumed by a deep underlying sadness She was just a girl who didn't like to smile I came to realise that the abandoned house I pass each morning doesn't have a dramatically tragic reason for why it had been abandoned It was merely because no one seemed to want it anymore I came to realise that a lot of people aren't cruel as a defence mechanism due to wars that may be taking place in the furthest corners of their minds They're just cruel To summarise I came to realise That life is only as meaningful and poetic as you fool yourself into believing that it is
