Naked On The Truman Show
Everything feels so loud right now,
I just want the noise to stop.
I get why most people stay ignorant
To the things that go bump in the night.
Evil politicians are stealing our rights
From under our noses
And people are so complacent
That it doesn't bother them.
As anxiety-inducing as it is-
Being aware of the things that are out to kill us-
I'd rather know.
My whole life
I have felt like a martyr
And I didn't understand why this was such an important,
Reoccurring theme.
My dad's voice in my head,
I thought I was just acting like a victim
Weak.
I never considered that he could be wrong.
If I were mentally capable
Of maintaining the pace society set as the standard
I would still be working 9-6
I would still be holding desperately
Onto my sweater as it was unraveling.
It wasn't until I was standing there
Stripped and naked
That I realized none of it was ever real to begin with.
