Normal Day

I walk down the halls and feel restrained .

“You should be happy!”

“What’s wrong?”

-What isn’t wrong

The expectation to smile at every person I see through the halls

In passing it’s profane to respond to “how are you?” with

-“I’m doing fine”.

Nobody cares enough to hear the truth.

It’s irreverent, it’s offensive it’s improper , its profane…

But shouldn’t you care? Shouldn’t someone care?

I don’t want to be dishonest with you.

So, don’t make me.

Don’t make me create a new character just for you

Don’t make me do this.
