Superficial Observations


It’s amazing how unobservant Most people are. Drifting, faces and handshakes Do they notice he remains still? Silent within and nearly un-phased You’re just a slip in his routine Most would conjure a forced smile Supporting society’s expectations But not him. Not today Others don’t even notice Me. Neither does he. Can others not feel the presence of someone’s eyes laying upon them? Like I can How different are we, really? Making up scenarios Why they act the way they do Your best friend slept with his And now he hates you. Walk away This society makes me sick Body image anorexia and low Confidence, materialistic pushing Social, media. College bodies Breathing testosterone, is intoxicating Obsessed with the superficial Nothing deeper. What’s your score? How will I ever find someone Who has the right intentions? Not just looking for the body But the soul that lies within.
