I give up. The world can keep on happening around me Earth can spin endlessly, I must stop caring. I will not observe, I will not connect I will stay in bed and watch tv I will let my problems be The world can keep on happening around me I'm no longer part of it I'm just a thing in the surroundings I do not have to matter, it is liberating to think of it I don't matter, never did, never will So I can do whatever I want in the limits of what I can do With the money I've been given With the family I've been given With the face and body I've been given I will do what I can, not my best, just what I can Because I decided that The world can keep on happening around me And I will not be part of the happening I will be as quiet as rivers flowing I will live like a bird, a fish or a flower Quiet and inhuman.
