Gavin

by @ultravioletsx

Someday I want to be the only boy living in New York. the skyscrapers will be my protectors, and the taxis, my companions. I was given so much potential to be something I am not. I am lost at sea floating adrift on a raft, and when I let go it will all be over. My mind is spinning with a circus of emotions. One day I will be wiser than the tallest tree. As of now i am a figment in a world of horror, a spec in a scene of destruction. I feel as if I am a bystander in my own body, I watch as good and bad things happen to me. I feel nothing. My life is extraordinarily prolonged, and there is nothing I can do about it. There is a war in my mind. I watch as people are brainwashed by the glow of their luminescent phone screens. The world we know is falling apart, and I feel as if I am the only one to notice this. No one truly cares about anything or anyone.
