With
the constant fluctuation of spiraling emotions and unnecessary drama it all
becomes merely a series of background noises, white noise pre-say drowning on
like an old tractor years over due its retirement.
I
could tell you that my life is interesting full of excitement and bold
decisions or that my parents died and I have been suicidal ever sense but then
I would be lying if I claimed those truths as my own. But instead I am consumed
by other peoples complaints and impossible goals of getting into one of the”
ivy’s”, yeah that place I’m talking about that makes me want to scream with
frustration and take someone’s throat with my bare hands and put just the right
amount of pressure so they can’t breath but their still alive, that’s the
feeling I have everyday I am in high school. Gruesome yes, just as whinny and “complainy”
as the last teen age girl who happened to make it to the 9th grade
yes, but I can’t seem to move past my own discomfort of the programed society
we live our lives in never questioning a single command given to us. No one knows anything yet some claim to
know all, how does that work? Is it because of some test they took that was
created by “big brother” that makes them a certified genius and others should
stop what their doing in their own lives and listen to what you have to say? I’m
sorry but that’s ridiculous, just admit it to your self, you know nothing, I
know nothing and we should stop living our lives as if someone placed a robotic
chip in our brains so we don’t question why there are trees and endangered
reptiles hidden within the earths crust or why we even call anything, anything?
So even though I can’t tell you how my moms childhood was filled with abuse and
the fear of not having food on the diner table has stuck with me all seventeen
years of my life, all I can tell you is that nothing is for certain.
When you’re
staring at that last question on your math test and all you have to do is
isolate the stupid x and someone next to you figured it out and it happened to
be 3, that x, probably isn’t even 3. Yeah your math teacher marked your answer
wrong and theirs correct but why? That last marked answer just made you fail
your test which only seems to feed; tension, stress, depression, insanity none
of those things seem to do anyone any good yet the world is content with
causing all of those things to everyone because it’s a part of life they say, why
should life be laborious and impossible? Because it makes us stronger? Life,
some over played pop song, and all it seems to be doing is breaking people to
the point where their bones don’t know how to mend themselves
anymore.
Brenn this is really good, your voice is very strong, and I'm diggin the similes and metaphors, I havent noticed them before in you work, but they really bring out something interesting. Great Job.
ReplyDeleteCosmos- glad your "digging" the similes I find it easier to explain things as something other then what they actually are.
ReplyDeleteBrenn, I think this shows your perspective and frustration with the world very well. It also mirrors the overwhelming amount of thoughts you must have and it comes across in a way that is very much your voice. Keep up the good work, I think letting it out is good for you.
