Is it seriously that hard to apply
the principles that you purportedly live by
equally, and with at least some imagey attempt, at least, to try
to give a damn about other people’s feelings, including those of your own
families?
Including those of your own communities?
I don’t mean what is posted on Instagram;
I don’t mean what is showcased, what is commented on Facebook, what is clearly
pretend.
I mean what I said.
I mean the real feelings, deep down within
that will never lie, because they cannot: no matter how hard you try to amend
yourself, you can’t.
The only way to do it is to say goodbye to Gaia,
and to a future, and a destiny, and a destination, and an end
that is more than just a means to an end.
A way of living honestly, authentically, courageously—
a way of moving beyond the trend
of giving in. Of failing to understand
who you really are, when the sand
runs out.
And it will.
Without a doubt.
Don’t believe me? As my first abuser used to say
I honestly don’t care lol.
