second-hand wisdom

u feel rescued+free. then reality settles in.

shaken and stirred, u lie helpless in agony. numbed.

your sanity in check. kill or get killed.

people around you are busy ignoring you as you grow unimportant.

cars skid in your direction, teasing your existence as if it doesn't matter anymore. your eyes say it all. you want the passion to fuel your days again but it is too late.

the game has ended long ago, leaving you breathless and old.
