one step forwards, two steps back

To hell with optimism.

I am, at this point, just so so tired of trying. Really, its frustrating. You smile, you wave, you put yourself out there and *snap* look, flying unicorns!! *snap* what were we talking about? *snap* NO ONE REMEMBERS.

One moment you're there, the next you're not.
You're just this cloud of dust in the space where a person once was.

pause.

But you hold on, you breathe, you smile, you wave. You shake it off, its all okay. Its all okay. pause. smile. wave. just keep telling yourself that. *snap* FLYING UNICORNS!! *snap* what were we talking about again? *snap* NO ONE REMEMBERS STILL.

Poof!
Its like you never existed.

they're counting off their fingers.
scratching their heads.

You're that toe nobody ever reaches.

fudging fingers.

But you pause. You smile wider still. You wave. Masquerade, paper faces on parade. Masquerade, hide your face so the world will never find you. And you're screaming so loud and they should hear you, but *snap* FLYING UNICORNS!! *snap* what were we talking about again? *snap* no one hears you.

At some point, you give in. You hit the stop button.

You smile.

You wave.

But who gives a shit anyway?
