No
Not one
Noone
Nope
Don’t want to hear your honest opinion right now
Serve me up some platitudes, please
Some straight sycophantisms
Not to me, but to the image one would like to portray
Of themselves
That broken mirror that tells you Yes
Screams that thing
If you don’t agree with me
Then you must be the ‘evil other’
And I can no more deal with you
Than hold my breath underwater for a week or two
So
No
Not one
Noone
Nope
Don’t want to hear your honest response
Just silently go along for the razor cut
Dope me up on memes and quotes
Not for me, but for the eyes and ears that only like
Affected nature
And the like button
Can we disagree
Even passionately
Thinking critically
And walk away
Because no one died today
Standing up for their own thoughts
No
Not one
Noone
Nope
Don’t want to hear your heart
Can we be honest with each other yet?
I know it’s been a while
But I miss it
Who decided it should be cut out of the diet
And taxed as a non-food grocery purchase
Can we fire that mindset
We’ve got enough of that
And it stinks like old toe jam
Or rotting parts
So can we try to reattach the missing limbs of individuals
Individuality
What does that even look like now?
It looks like
No
Not one
Noone
Nope
I’m my own wall-builder in this maze
