Surrounded by stupidity
I feel my mouth go dry
Conversations filled with simplicity
Meaningless words keep on passing me by
Why do they talk if they got nothing to say?
Making promises they won’t keep
They lie whereupon they shamelessly betray
I have a hard time believing it,
But this is undoubtedly reality
Just can’t wrap my head around
This amount of superficiality
They judge and disdain practically all the time,
None of it making sense
How is it possible that there are people
With such a lack of intelligence?
A hollow feelings starts to expand
While it’s getting really difficult to suppress
The urge to block out this overwhelming experience
Of deep and empty loneliness
But although I want to scream my longs out
And a red gaze is troubling my sight
I know, at least, I am just being me
What a relief to know I’m not empty inside

Nice work fran, I agree we are all surrounded by stupidity sometimes. You have a charming and witty way of conveying your message, this poem flows smoothly and is both emotive and poignant. Just one small point on the last line did you mean relief and not relieve??. Keep-em-coming!!!
Thank you for the comment. And you're absolutely right, that should be relief instead of relieve. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll go and correct it right away!
