Sharks

Once bitten,
Twice shy

Twice bitten,
Once dead

Sharks

Pointless

We pray to God that the second card is an ace although the cards have already been dealt.

We pray to God that we'll get good exam results just before we peek at them.

We persist to joke with the doctor even though we know we're dying.

We tell ourselves that this isn't happening when we find out that we are dying.

We tell the person to our left to pinch us while we gaze upon the remnants of a brutal car crash.

We pound the wood and glass while we shout for our loved ones to wake up even though we know they're dead.


We insist on trying to hope even when we know there is no use in doing so; when both the circumstance and outcome have already been decided.

Not necessarily revealed yet, but definitely decided.


But then again;

We rapid fire the down button even though it wont make the elevator come any faster.

We put our dirty hands on the faucet to get the water running, wash our hands, then put our clean hands on the dirty faucet to stop the water.

We happily come out of the shower knowing that the towel we use to wipe our face is the same towel we use to wipe our ass.


So as humans, are we just blissfully hopeful and ignorant, or is there a rather large dash of stupidity mixed in there...

Self Aware

The boat left,
Departed from shore,
Gracefully slid into the horizon.

And I wasn't on it.

I think I've been left behind,
Staring into a black mirror,
Seeing a reflection just as such.

And I have an idea as to what happened.

What was once unblemished,
Was slowly stained,
By the tinted lenses of life.

Oh sweet ignorance, I can't swim.

Sail back.

Ugh...

Oh jeez.

Stop looking in that direction.

It annoys me.

It intensely annoys me.

I have a face in case you didn't notice. And behind the face there are feelings.

If you wish to talk to me, talk to ME. Don't gaze towards another face and talk to me through words meant for someone else. It's down right insulting, as if you don't want to face me, as if you don't want any direct contact with me.

So stop talking, look a little to your left, and locate the buzz cut, raven haired head. And of course the least you could do is attempt to find the pair of eyes belonging to that head before proceeding with whatever you were saying.

I exist.

Get used to the fact.
