Lack Of Reaction

It’s not that you know how to speak better, its not that you're speaking louder or quieter. Its that you’re genuinely putting sustenance behind them, you ask how I am and as I’m giving you a well thought-out response, you just start looking around for the next thing to come, something better, something different, put a price-tag on my forehead, it doesn’t take talent. Skill. experience. It takes effort and I guess you're not willing to invest it. Its like we’re incapacitated. We look at each other like a grenade just went off right next to us and with your words you lift me up and with mine I’ll fireman's carry you. We both have no strength, and we all have no clue where we are going. but we’ll find strength in each other, with each spoken phrase I can feel the adjustments my body makes. I haven’t slept in days but I can feel my eyes gently raise from the sturdy weight of weariness and my muscles loosen up and with this back and forth, we pick up hints and clues of the journey ahead, and we arise from our crippling and we suddenly have the means to become supreme and conquer this dream. We walk foot by foot, your words are food, do I want a square meal, or a piece of hollowed bamboo, they can encourage me to chase the dreams that reason and logic chase away, or put me in the hold for a few days for punishment for your vacancy, because you’re always gracefully chasing after-Wait. your disdain for me makes me linger off this path paved for me, to rear into the jungle get injured, and with my sights set on the paved way, I just can’t put my finger on the trigger, I guess my perception has no direction I’ll just keep trudging through the jungle, but you're on the paved way, and your words call out to me, like I’m shipwrecked and you're the siren, but the tide has turned and your pressing rewind so I don't wreck, plank by plank, I’m not going to walk off it again, “Oh thanks for that support, I came out of the jungle and by God was I rich, because there's always more to tell about a negative story than a positive. “Ya don’t say, hm. The only way we can stand is on our knees with lifted hands”.
