What does a world consist of today?
mediocracy?
illusion leaving people disillusioned
Tall tales we tell
lies that soak up our pain
claiming
never being
hearing
never listening
questions
never really having a purpose or meaning
relationships started
ending in the in between
people scared of feelings they were taught to
stay clear
conscious way of being
tall tales we tell
soon believing
altering what others actually see
manipulating others
seducing the weak
imitating power
pretending what we are is what we are not
silent conversations had between eyes
thoughts that are powerful
things we try to forget
books scattered all over my floor
self help
self made
self taught
choice to go out
seeing people
familiar lonely faces
preying on them
recklessly living
potentially recking a long term friendship
becoming something
we never thought we'd be
realizing
I am just an animalistic human being
living from experience to experience
experiencing life in many altered ways
leading to a skewed way of seeing
the world and everything we try to be
