Surrounded By Stupidity

Fran

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!
