Vacuum
Vacuum
Ah, the games you play…
The feigning ignorance,
The insincerity of the excuses,
The plasticity exposed.
How weak.
How needless.
Dancing just that side of the rules,
Flaunting a touch of prohibited,
How clever.
How many times until
The hand-slap?
How long before
A door closes to you?
Will you be inside
Or out?
Which will cut deeper?
Being ignored –
That’s the one.
Left out,
Left alone,
Left to entertain…
Yourself.
But that’s not how it works,
Is it?
A starving ego cannot feed itself,
Thus, it eats at you,
Until there’s nothing left
But the hungry ego –
Last vestige of a person
That barely resembles
Who you once were
If in fact
You ever were.
Such a waste of oxygen.
Should you read this,
It won’t bother you a bit.
You haven’t that capacity,
So, I will waste no more time on you.
I advise my readers to do the same.
