From The Roof Tops

Edthepoet

We so desperately
Want to be friends
We've forgotten how
To show it
With everybody watching in
It's not that easy to speak
With everybody listening
For no great reason
God forbid they should miss what's happening.

Welcome to
The age of anxiety
The dawn of technology
Born to set us free
Now it lives and breathes inbetween you and me
Lurking in the spaces
Our awkward pauses leave
Slowly erasing traces
Of humanity
What does it mean to seek masculinity
What does it mean to seek femininity
Lost in a goody goody pc culture created on our pc's
It's always been okay to be different, what was missing was a mass acceptance, but is there really a need to unleash your inner freak from the roof tops? & If you're widely accepted are you still really that different?

What does it mean
To document everything
We eat
What does it mean
To complement everyone
We meet
What does it mean
To supplement nutrition
We need
What does it mean
To approximate friendships
What does it mean
To be amazed if
Everythings amazing

What does it take to
Capture the perfect image
Derived from the word imaginary all be it with Contradictory meanings
Without a constant imagining
Would this perfect image
Really exist?

Or would I get to meet the real you? Have a real conversation, causing real reactions? Feeling real emotions? Getting lost in real moments? Creating memories not for sharing but for keeping? Now that would truly be an amazing feet to reach.
