All the Stars in My Mind

shame.

what a shame, i tell myself. what a shame that the world is full of cracks and lack of consideration. lack of reality. what a shame that people have to build walls and act 'normal' as if their lives weren't falling down another crack, another hole. what a shame that a smile has to be another lie, and a tear is for attention. what a shame that telling one's own feelings is so difficult. the reality of this cracked world, is that most people hide their tears in a form of a smile. people chase perfection as a way of coping. and most people have a lack of what true happiness and  being 'normal' is like. a lot of people just don't understand and they expect so much from you. they expect it to be easy to get out of bed, because it's easy for them. but getting out of bed isn't a torturous wrench to their body. getting out of bed doesn't make them want to run away from themselves. getting out of bed used to be easy, but now it's one of the hardest things. what a shame that people can't understand. what a shame humanity is.
