impressionist

act a certain way long enough
and people expect the same
follow advice (directions)
give thanks (appeasement)
change for the better (lie)
you want optimism
yet are used to depression
this is just a show
we don't take requests

been meaning to

(from december 7th)

and you walk around and try to look into the faces
that quickly look away rather than meet your eyes
everyone knows it and no one knows it
Buy. Sell. Trade.
anything but happiness.
anything but meaning.

nothing is loud enough

complex. or not.

everyone wants to have their cake
and eat it too

everyone

I just want something new

this is all I want

everything
and
nothing
