Pointless small talk
Lack of depth
Pretentious shallow words
Mask the fear of vulnerability
Energy expelled and wasted
Deceptive and illusive
Illusion created with purpose
Smoke and mirrors
Traps and dead ends set
As a way to remain a mystery
Role playing to please
For the sake of blending in
Just to feel empty and unfulfilled
Pouring into other cups
Has yours dry collecting dust
Lonely in the crowd
Surrounded by incessant sound
Drowns out any profound thought
Incomprehensible chatter
Tuned out and bored
Overstimulating speech unabsorbed
Numb dissociated indifference
Im slowly losing interest
Exhausted by the emotionally illiterate
Authenticity seems unrealistic
Real is reduced to pointless small talk
