I say hi
how are you? how’s it going?
just seems I’m the only one
when did everyone get so impersonal?
every conversation ends in awkward silence
am I brain dead or just different?
special but not in a special kind of way
cry baby, pull up your bootstraps
grabbing breakfast
depressed so it’s unhealthy
contemplating where I’m standing
busy sidewalk
so everyone bumps into me
no sorry or apologies
I swear it’s a miracle
I haven’t gone on a killing spree
and it wouldn’t be so bad
if it wasn’t like this 24/7
feels like everyone is patronizing
never wanted to be a boss
I’m really not that smart
just want to put on a smile
until I get to go home
watch a movie or play video games
because it’s the only thing
that helps with my stress
and takes me away
from this world that’s a mess
No one wants to be the one to say hi first. Everyone thinks that the other person has a hidden agenda. This is an interesting outlook. Never wanted to be a boss. You know I talked with people in charge and some said that they felt the same way.
I try to tell myself that those thoughts are just delusions. But the mind does play tricks.
Thanks for the read friend.
Powerfully penned, Nick. It’s a different world out there, dig this write my friend. Appreciate you.

Different and strange.
Thanks for the read friend.
Seems like there’s a mass apathy sweeping the human race these days. Smile & get blank eyes. Or a frown. It’s rather disheartening…I find myself becoming more reclusive everyday. Not a good thing either, but at least alone explains the silence. Great reflection
Honestly I wish I could just lock myself in my house. I get so tried of people. It has become a hostile world.
Thanks for the read friend.
