discombobulated


Why do I dislike your company? Why does the conversation run dry? Why does your presence elicit disharmony? Why do you render my plans awry?
I find your interests to be drivel, And I suppose I can understand, Why you struggle to remain civil When you find my passions to be bland.
Why do I look forward to solitude, But only when you're the alternative? Why do I have this distasteful attitude, When my optimism is usually superlative?
I hate this feeling. I want it to end. If I could set to healing Myself, I'd feel good will again.
I want to like you. I really do. I'd love to like you, But I don't know how to.

I'm a very busy physics major who writes "poetry" sometimes. I'm really into dadaism and the artistic revolution of the 1960s, and, cringey though it may sound, I think there should be a revival of that movement, which may be why I stick around here sometimes. It may be worth mentioning that I'm an atheist; I appreciate your religious sentiment, but all you'll get back from me is humanly good will.
