Peace be with you
for those who celebrate
Happy Easter
for those who don't
happy Sunday
hope it's relaxing, hope it's an easy and sleepy setting
I'm sending good tidings
because unfortunately I'm about to shatter the good facade
I know, I know
it's too early and not even 8:30am
but this has been festering in my mind for too long
I discuss myself and my happenings
the occasional and rare frequency of creativity giving birth to new art pertaining to characters or scenery
I try to stay away from politics, religion, and news
for I'm simply an entity on the internet
I'm depressing but not an idiot
I refuse to ostracize anyone with my own simple naive world views
when I don't really know you
your backgrounds
when I want to
but there's so many of you
and to put it plainly
I'm an ignorant, isolated American
with a bleeding heart of gold and bronze
I'd listen with open ears and undivided attention
I'd tear myself apart hearing your stories
in case there's tragedy
wanting to do something to help out
yet nor knowing the proper channels to aid
I'll consign myself to inaction
the price to pay for my tunnel vision
How would you view me after a little conversation
after knowing the chaos in my head
I always wonder
going back rereading my notes
wanting to learn every language
to have conversations with a person from every background
without the need of a translator
but I've grown lazy
losing motivation for the upteenth time
can't even make it past Spanish
what I've been trying to learn for the past 3 years
Look at me, I'm stalling
following tangents
instead of the main reason I've came here
call it a poetic staple of a one track mind
let's reset and try again
I mentioned briefly of being American
so let's start with that
it's close enough to the subject at hand
Reading this, are you from another country
another continent
do you see us on the news
do you want to travel here
Let me tell you it's not as glamorous as movies paint it out to be
not as chaotic as the news probably makes it out to be
From one's person's perspective
unless you watch the news everyday
have access to headlines
the world is on the sidelines
anything else that happens is your life
when you focus on that, there's drama
there's happiness
but you forget that while you're in one state,...
