It’s a funny little thing
When people assume you’re stupid enough to watch the lies fly right into your face. When people think you won’t catch on quick enough or at all. I’ve seen some crazy shit in my life. Things most would think are unbelievable. But when I’m told one thing when there’s tons of evidence of another, I’m going to be very quick to judge.
Now, I’m not talking about any one person specifically… at the moment. I’m just reminiscing on how many times I’ve caught others in an act. And how many times I let them do it. I guess I’ll always let most people do it since what they say about any particular scenario means almost nothing to me. The thing is, is that it’ll always hurt the same. No matter who you are. What it’s about. Or how bad it was. A lie is a lie. And there’s always gonna be real eyes realizing those real lies. In all due honesty, there’s nothing I can do but to accept. Accept what other humans do to not only me, but to everyone else around them. I suppose thats how our society works. I suppose that’s how our society always worked. I was probably to naive to see it.
As I type this in my backyard, I can’t help but notice this plant directly in front of me. It has the most gorgeous leaves. They’re green in the center and begin to sprout purple by the edges. This plant has a long stem towering the leaves. It has two red flowers at the very top. One is full of life. The other is that of a wilted flower. I’m sure there’s a good, logical reason as to why two flowers of the same stem show different levels of health. But it does make you think… at least it makes me think. Do the flowers fight for their own survival? Do they really need the water, the sun or the soil? Or do they fight their own battles even though they’re the same?
If they do, then they’re just like humans.
And that truly is sad.
I need a smoke.
