For people to be so aloof
caustic, yet they beg attention
feign affection....
their real emotions are kept inside
this adolescent character is in accordance
with another self
kept on undisclosed shelf....
while family and friends fish
for something tangible
there lacks an essence of sincere contact
why bother to get blood from a stone
with their real desire comfortably masked
there was a time to question where the fire went
then to wonder how time has earnestly been spent
but with holes riddled in affective spaces
abrasive natures line infective routes
real communication descends shutes;
while false airs are tossed about
one may be unhappy about such comportment
I'll resign myself to expect much less.
from family or friend who pretends to be earnest.

Attributes of a generation removed are in play
a distance between mannerisms is there to stay.

Removing one's self...seems to go hand-in-hand with "it's not my fault" thinking.
Enjoyed the thoughts in this, Martin.

Aptly put Kacy, it has made my blood simmer but it shouldn't since the "it's not my fault " is a convenient game played by so many who invest so little and have the audacity to expect much in return...

this very subject is one that I run into so often.  People who pretend to be one thing and aren't....but wear multiple masks.
Very well done, I understand this one all to well.

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....
