And sadness comes in waves mixed with fear
Thought is gone, one blurred vision of the past not to long ago.
Blurred but clear, crystal clear and fuzzy at the same time
love not shown
the words said
and the words Not said.
Self-Esteem broken
No actions taken,...
His friends would say he was very well behaved. Yes.
but able to defend, No!
and so now the adult that was the dutiful child is scared
afraid of life, and wont defend himself.
and his family is doomed,
doomed to be less than
less than Mediocre.
But beer and big screen TV, will take them to numb
take them to mindlessness
Drones just existing, full of regret
full of self doubt
scared to do
scared to try
so they follow the TV
follow it blindly
so it can tell them what to do and what to think
they follow it till their feelings are as numb as a coma patient
only they, Are alive
and going to work
and complaining about their self inflicted misfortune
and taking care of their child
and their dog
and the house plants
and they bitch they don't have anything
and now maternity clothes to buy
and laundry to do
and cars to repair
and bills to pay
and worrying how to afford the pregnancy, let alone the second child on its way
lucky for them the TV is now on, and there is this show on that
is funny
and another show on that is scary
and another that mixes drama and emotion and humor
and the shows make them forget
forget the present
forget the past
most of all they can forget their future
Their worries and fears melt
their mind goes numb
the beer cans open
and the drones exist
to scared to be more than below-average,
to scared to make a phone call.
that phone call that will confront a Real person.
