It's easier to just say "I don't care" rather than plaster a smile on your face for everyone else's sake
The plaster obviously hurts; sticking to your face like cancer as it bits at your sore cheeks
A waste of muscle energy, that's what it is. Brain power too actually
Unnecessary shit that people are put through, while painting over our own scars
Because what's more important than other people's satisfaction right?
Who in the right mind would put personal benefits over social benefits; using the laws of economics
Why would someone ever think of loving yourself more than anything else
Such an outrageous idea! Absolutely absurd!
Said no one ever, other than the demons in one's head that follow duty and responsibility
Please, it's not being selfish or self-centered
It's loving oneself to know one's own limits and wants
Happiness shouldn't be only for other people; it's for you too, especially you
So give out the "I don't give a fuck" to those who deserve it
Let the burden of someone else go
Because it isn't yours to keep
If crows are pecking at your windows
Don't try to shoot them down
Leave them to be pecking forever
Don't give it the satisfaction of attention
Let the sound melt into the background
Close the windows on the words that try to distract you
It's just buzzing mosquitoes in your ear
Won't be long until it stops and you are left in peace
Because there isn't anything better than silence
