I Hope So

 Nothing's on my mind,

an existential problem.


I've come to the conclusion,

division is inevitable...

Sad.


Politics appear to worm their way into everything.


How do I explain personal choice, 

a love of self?


Everyone only tries to do what's best

for the love of self, then everyone else.


Understanding humanity is hard for some

-but I understand the love of self.


Being kind to everyone else is problematic for most,

but I find myself caving in to respect.

Instead of being problematic,

I find myself silent.

Robbed of my voice. . .


Speechless at the sounds of so much disrespect,

and how do I cope?


I shut myself out of these four walls,

and watch the real world keep moving. 


The question is, am I moving with it?
