its hard to get by with just a smile

[tucky6]

im listening to mad world. by gary jules. from donnie darko.
it makes me, well it makes me think i guess.
but then it makes me feel withdrawn. sad. alone.
and i begin to see things
fast
flying around in circles.
every day to day shit.
crazy chores and errands that people think are so
important.
it's all just nonsense.
it's all just a way to get by in this world
this mad world
with out you yourself having to think
get through everything so fast. make everything so
crowded. everyone just a face. why?
so we dont have to think.
so we dont have to be alone with our own mind.
people are going so fast.
fast forwarding through the world. and leaving things so
messed up.
so god damn fucked up.
it's hard to see the beauty.
but its there.
stop
open up
look around smell feel that wind in your hair and your nose get cold
sometimes its okay to not be strong
sometimes you need to just be
you

withdrawn as we are
there is still beauty
in the way ice crunches under your feet.
