I am lonely.
But,
only because I see no reason to expose myself to human emotion.
To exist as someone who,
you'd notice.
In this society,
eyes only see self.
These individuals will use you at every step.
Will wait patiently,
and pounce,
as you stop to catch your breath.
I don't mean all of course.
But,
enough,
simply due to how this system's formed.
For,
each individual must eat.
And,
you will be what they feed upon.
As they feed off your emotion,
draining you at every moment.
Feed from your consumption,
as you continue to buy more and more.
This system even feeds off war.
War between races,
war between genders,
war between ages,
war creates dinner.
And we as citizens,
become said dinner.
For we,
are energy givers.
To be me within this society,
is to be nobody,
only eyes that see.
Only a mind that perceives.
Untethered to what "American"
means.
One,
forever,
lonely....
