The poison in his veins


The poison courses through his veins, making it hard to go through life. The point of breaking into pieces day by day, no one sees he is in a painful state. And not one of them seem to care, about his thoughts, or feelings on his ownself. But the real question is, who is he? Or what is he? He does not know, because he is the cast away, the outcast. He wants happiness, and joy but can not have it, when no one is there. For him or try to be there, they pass him by, not saying a word, not even a glance on his direction. They act as if he is imfamous. Or just plain odd, not one of them, not part of this generation. The generation of hash tags, and swag fags. But he is part of a generation of respect, loyalty, love, trust, forgiveness, and wisdom. The most important generation is always the previous one. But he is just not them and they are not him, who ever he is. He is sad and down, depressed and gloom. The poison easily turns to anger and frustration, the point of him not in flow with the new people, and new things, why can't he just stay in his time? And not have to worry about having to be one of them? So he can move forward with his life, the one he enjoyed better back then, and no one judged his, or made fun of him? He wants happiness and joy, but can not have it with this new generation, he wants time, but he has none left, he is dead inside now, no one cared enough to notice his pain, and since not one person shows emotion, he is to live his life emotionless, not feeling a thing, his soul is dead, and his body is on autopilot. Let him be, do not let that pass by, you could have saved him, and made it better, but you chose your generation over his pain and anger. And frustration, with no point in returning to his normal self again. But what is normal? Is there such thing? Is he just not the right kind of normal? Is it just he can not accept the new normal? Its his mind wandering again. Do not mind it, you have not before, why start now? It was your choice, to bad you missed out on such a great guy, he was fun and joyful, good friend, and best person that would have made you think things differently. He is gone now, he just floats around, emotionless, lifeless, corrupt by the poison in his veins.
