Romantic Notions

The people are filled with romantic notions

even though they will try to deny it,

the people are filled with sappy poetry,

it dresses up, in make up, and they try to hide it

no one wants to be a sap

no man wants to be seen weeping at a movie

we create superheroes and myths,  admire the lion of the jungle,  or grisly bear for it's raw strength

a belief that strength endures in the world

isn't that romantic?

isn't that poetic even?

that nothing ever dies?

Everything stays young and strong and beautiful forever, at least something does, as everything passes on

no slave to clock or time or disease

isn't that romantic?

disgustingly so

Terrible Things

Dark_clouds_at_sunset.jpg (1280×960)


There are things that happen to you in Life

that you do not want to talk about

there are things that happened to you that you do not 

want to think about

at all 

ever

you just don't want think about it

or tell people about it

You just try to forget it

but it's there

it's always with you

like that

it's crazy how that goes

it's totally what makes a person who they are

but

they will not talk about it all

and that is crazy,

because, it always the most important

thing

the most important thing that has ever happened

to them

and they refuse to talk about it,

instead they talk

politics


and that's 

It

completely blowing their chance, to tell ya

anything

I Live In My Own World

time-universe-6.png (750×500)

As you live in your own world

people say this all the time, when you are an 


introvert

and I am introvert


but, to me


there is not much that separates an introvert from and extrovert


slight brain chemistry, here and there


I try to be more extroverted, but it don't come off too well


Extroverts live in their own world too.


I find my own thoughts, waaay more interesting than most


I'll try to reach out to other's with words,


yet make no real connection


like you're at a party or club, or bar and you just hear the chattering of voices.


opinions going indifferent directions, and usually prejudiced and silly


Yet you are still alone with yourself


the extroverted introvert


who tries to make this genuine connection to another human being


but it doesn't quite


well, some of us live our heads more than others


and i would be one of these.
