and this is how it is... until the day you die
Life is short... fuck school, fuck class, fuck mindless conversation, fuck work, fuck attitudes, you live in this little shallow world, where only what you know is of value. talk to me in a few years, when you realize none of it ever really mattered, where the days you spent sitting outside in the sun watching people pass you by, were some of the

Has it ever occurred to you that people aren't all the same, but rather you are too busy thinking about your own wit to discern their differences? Or that a girl who wants her body to (one would presume from some eldritch bodily wetness) kiss soft sand had better spend a lot of time at that computer typing away to get there, and even more time before that learning to do redact correctly. Not just any peon can get a job where the employer cares about her groundbreaking thoughts on the sameness of all.
No, girls who think all people are the same are all the same(believe me, you are not alone). Little college girls who group everyone at a mall together, everyone at a workplace together, even the people making out with the sand on the same beach as herself, are all the same. But never does she say, "I'm here too, does that make me the same?" "I saw that movie too, me and my comrades, and we are all the same!"
Nope, she sees herself as sunflower surrounded by ordinary blades of grass (a simple metaphor for a simple idea). And I guess that's the best way to see oneself. Only remembering the stupid people you meet, and forgetting that smart people sometimes do stupid things when they don't care what impression they make on the callow little college girl about to make change for them, is a good way to fabricate self-esteem. But ersatz esteem, in the long run, fuckin' sucks, don't it?

The goal is not to find a way within the system to prosper, the goal is to live outside the system.
Also, I find it amazing how you take half a line that ultimately has little to do with the overall message and blow it up to base your entire argument around.
Read it again, this time try it without the condescending tone of a middle-aged intellectual (trying to show off the SAT words, huh?).
Mare's words speak wisdom that you apparently can't see in a "little girl".

And PERHAPS you are a fucking asshole that took something short and sweet I wrote to the extreme of picking out every potential flaw that it may or may not have. PERHAPS I struck a nerve because you fear you are one of the people that I would consider to be a mediocre piece of average walking life. However, you are also ignorant, judgmental, and rude, making you cockier than the average bear. What I wrote was not a piece that was intended to make me feel better than anyone else, so don't you fret. It was merely something I wrote for people that felt alone in a shallow world that want to run away sometimes from it all, that they are not alone and WE all feel the same about the things we wish to be freed from sometimes. PS motherfucker, I have a real job, I also sit in a classroom, I also volunteer (because I want to not because I have to), and I also do things beyond sitting at a computer and bitching in a little online site. Fear not my friend, I actually am caught in the little world we are all caught up in. I just choose to experience the alternative of being liberated and loving life as much as possible. I would just like to clarify and say that although most people are the same in a flawed sort of fucked up beautiful way, I am also human, and my flaws include me in the bunch. The poem was for truthful artistic purposes. It is always fun to have people like you give such a major shit about it though. I love it when I can affect someone enough to have them post long and fucked up comments that actually have no relevance to any of the intent anything I write actually is meant to have.
Go smoke a cigar. I hope you feel proud. Oh and next time, post your full name, so I can send you fan mail and scratch and sniff stickers!
