Slumps. Strained eyes. Weary heart. I’ve been kept in this state for as long as I can remember. The more I see, the more I perceive. The more I get why it’s easier to despise. Well. It is not hatred. It never is. It’s a punishment of knowing too much. Or less? Who knows. No one does anymore. I’ve been kept in this state... For as long as I can remember. Weary heart. Strained eyes. Slumps. 1:42 am 10/4 ‘26

"Great Nation"
Slumps. Strained eyes. Weary heart. I’ve been kept in this state for as long as I can remember. The more I see, the more I perceive. The more I get why it’s easier to despise. Well. It is not hatred. It never is. It’s a punishment of knowing too much. Or less? Who knows. No one does anymore. I’ve been kept in this state... For as long as I can remember. Weary heart. Strained eyes. Slumps. 1:42 am 10/4 ‘26
I was once a bright-eyed kid. Once i tuned into the world of hypocrisy, i couldn't help but finding myself losing hope of how an ideal nation should be. it is never my fault.
