Friend or Foe
When I open my mouth,
feelings,moods, and tears flow out
but nothing is ever heard.
I choose to stay quiet;
the background shading me out
as a blur of unnecessary and nonexistence.
When I express myself,
it is more meaningful to people
I've never even met.
Maybe because they choose to listen instead of speak
and when they do, they do so with wisdom.
they don't see you or your existence
so they can't judge
they can't laugh
they can't mock
forced to merge with your perspective
because you are the only perspective
no other perspective is given to the anonymous to consider
they arn't a part of your life
they are only exposed to these text
the opposition that was in your life is non-existence
and they are only exposed to what your mind thinks
and what your mind thinks is always correct.
your friends are your enemy
you don't know them
they can lie.
you cannot see into their minds
nor into their souls
because when there is good, there is evil
when there is right, there will always be a wrong
otherwise if the opposition does not exist,
how you can you expect your side; the right side, to be relevant?
why live in unknown and fear of what they store in their minds
thinking whether it is for or against your thinking
when you have something that is completely nuetral?
the anonymous user that reads the text
knows nothing of your existence
they either hate or love
they show whether they hate or love
because they have nothing to lose
because they are protected behind their screens
because they are anonymous
they actually listen to what you have to say
they understand you because they are only exposed
to your point of view
to your side of the story
is it not ironic that your best friend
the person you most trust
is the stranger, the anonymous that your parents told you not to trust?
is it not ironic that the people you consider friends
can harm you because you let them into your life
not knowing whether they are friend or foe?
we live in the unknown, when we know more
we gain knowledge of more unknown
the more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know-Albert Einstein
life is filled with paradoxes, contraditions, and unknown entities
it is perhaps how religion is formed
religion is based on faith
faith is trusting even though you live in the fear of the unknown
you put faith into your friends thinking they will help you
you make yourself believe that they will be there for you
they are your friends
but in reality you don't know whether they will betray you or not
you don't know if they are really thinking that way
and you don't know whether if they are friend or foe
religion, in a way is order
it is something placed in this world whether you believe in it's existence or not
it is to maintain balance
to restore peace in a sense
but at the same time create conflict
create hate and anger
something that was meant to create order is
something that destroys in second handedly
without order there would be chaos in this world
because human beings a truly selfish
when one's true self is revealed, it is ugly never beautiful
because there is not a single person that is truly perfect
all of us have sin stained upon us
we fight to gain benefits
even if it means harm towards others
the only real perfect being is "God"
but, then again, you have to put faith into God don't you?
you have to trust in something that you do not even know of it's existence
over the whole internet, advertisings, make-up, false information
looks gorgeous with their pretty colours and big bolded text
all to attract you
all to trap you
ALL
FUCKING
LIES
therefore order is placed to keep one in their false sanity
all the other underhanded dirty unseen things are kept away from us
but someone has to keep them away from us
the government does
the one that enforces the order
is the one that lies to us
:)
another example of order causing chaos unknowingly to keep our false sanity
or to harm us secretly
or perhaps it is actually trying to help us?
you will never know
put faith into it perhaps?
or rebel against it?
then again, do you have a choice?
is the military here to protect us? or protect the governement
are rioters the correct view? or the government?
is your friend your actual friend or foe?
you won't ever know, for as you know, the more you do not know
or perhaps you do? but it is hidden from your so called friend
so i want to thank you anonymous user
for saying that I am a:
faggot
gay
stupid
ugly
dumb
fat
useless
because it is better than being called:
smart
beautiful
charismatic
hot
amazing
genius
because you are being honest
you don't know me
you only see my view
not other views
and you are my
BEST FRIEND <3
in this bittersweet, disgustingly beautiful, contradictory world
thank you for being there!
