i said it

i wouldn't call this
giving in,
i'd call it not giving a shit enough
to care about
whatever outcome
sweeps it's dirt into the
cracks of my bedroom floorboards.
don't we all want
to be
pleasantly filled in? of course,
unless the truth is
colder than the
weather this time of year. in that case
we'd rather stay
wrapped up in blankets of lies,
as our
foundation burns in the fireplace
inches in front
of our faces.

    Apathy and ignorance...is there truly any other way to make it through the days without wantingto crash airplanes into buildings and set hospitals on fire (amoung other enraged outbursts of frustration and sorrowful discontent over existance)?

      apathy, yes.
      ignorance, no. that's the one thing that enrages me, besides socks with sandals.

        But what of purposely remaining ignorant of the truth ?
        "...unless the truth is colder than the weather this time of year"
        That line is what makes me fathom the possiblity of ignorance.

        Also, socks with sandles--->
        Thats my grandfather, straight up!

          it's directed at other people, not at myself. there's a lot of ignorance, and with it comes arrogance. luckily i have the second, without the first.

            I was just pondering that I was probably thinking about my own self, in regards to the ignorance thing, as I often wish to just stay in the dark about some things.
            Fortunate for me, even though my reasons for such may be bitter abnbd selfish, I am spared the trait of arrogance (i think/hope).

                Yeah, I often do.
                Im a pretty strange, abnormal kind of dork.
                Im a deep thinker with a short attention span who has a large vocabulary and can hardly ever explain what I mean most of the time.
                My friends often look at me with the oddest bewildered looks when I go on about such rigamarole, and use such words as rigamarole.
