A Problematic Response to an Undeserving Situation

Tell me a secret

something that i don't know

because if all of this time

you've been telling the truth

then I have alot of thinking to do


I'll admit I am a overly trusting person

or at least

would be if I actually believed a word

anyone said


But I play the games

force my famous fake smile

on anyone and everyone

who's unfortunate enough to give me the time of day


Let's face it

It would make a lot more sense

if everyone hated me

if everyone hated everyone


but they don't

maybe that's just our need for companionship

playing tricks on ourselves

making us think we care when we don't<>

"well darling, I love you

and though that's a lie

I hope it makes you feel better

because you're a much better use of my time"

    I'm not sure if this is really how you feel,
    just know there's always someone who will
    be right behind you that cares about you
    more than you could possibly know (:

  2. that described my feelings today.
    i feel as though everybody would be better off if nobody got along.
    there would be no need for friends, and no need for love.
    why do we do this to ourselves?
    it's like we make ourselves puppets trying to make everybody happy, but what about us?
    we get nothing out of it. /:

    thank you for writing this, it doesn't matter if you feel this way or not. but at least i know someone possibly does.

  3. This is unfortunately and shockingly true. Sometimes it seems that we're only here to really just be here. We say things because something needs to be said. And it would be so much easier if we didn't have to fake it all in the process. If everyone admitted their true feelings and acknowledged them, life would be so much less complicated.

    And as for the last stanza, it's so true. I tell you these things because you don't understand, because faking it is so much easier than trying to be genuine when you know it's not possible.

    Might I add that, on a slightly happier note, the way you write makes so much sense. And it's amazing.
