an eye for the blind.

they told me that time was short and life was precious.

they told me what goes around comes around.

they told me kindness begets kindness.

they told me family was important.

they told me a lot of things.

but none of them mattered, not when all they told me were lies;

not when all they told me were but myths and legends;

not when all they could conceive were fairytales;

not when the world was staging chaos;

not when everyone was lying;

not and never will matter.

i tell myself:

friends are the most important people in my life because they walk me through it.

my heart will matter more than my head, no matter the circumstances.

joy can always be derived from hard work, that is guaranteed.

there is no hope at all that the world would survive.

fun and laughter don’t drive progress.

believe in the individual.

that’s all we have.
