My kind of people

I find myself getting annoyed, instead. A couple of months ago, I came to the realization that the new people in my life weren't so great. And that I wanted to get rid of some of them. So as you all know, I did set up a deadline. And I named it #23.

But seriously,
The old people in my life,
Weren't so great just the same.
In fact, they barely exist.

I find them... oldschool.
Like shrinking back to my shell.
That would be nice, except, I don't fit anymore.
I've gotten so much bigger since the last time I hid away.
And I'm constantly just rolling my eyes.
Secretly laughing at their naiveness.

I love my friends.
I've had them for years.
But every aspect of our friendship,
These days, annoys the crap out of me.

They're either kids who forgot to grow up,
Or matured too quickly to have some fun,


Like kids,
They depend on society.
On books.
On instructions.
They trap themselves to the cruel binds of society.
Because they were told so.

They are,
Scared to rebel.
Scared to jump.
Scared to fly.
Scared to runaway,
Scared of Mommy and Daddy,
Scared to lose a home, and a family, and food, and education, and clothes, and internet.
Scared to question everything.
Scared to discover more because they're fine with the identity they were handed with.
Because at the end of the day, do well in school and they get a kiss from Mommy and Daddy.
Everything is pre-written.
Planned out by somebody else.

On the other hand,
Like adults,
They blame on society.
On books.
On instructions.
They trap themselves to the cruel binds of society.
Because they were told so.

They,
Complain,
Complain,
Complain.
And blame that because of this and that,
Which they claim they have no control of,
They cannot do this and that.
They have lost hope.
They have lost way.
Because Mommy and Daddy aren't there anymore.
So they cry.
They cry for life.
They cry that 20 years down the road,
They get a promotion and a salary upgrade,
Then maybe they can grab coffee with you.

The new people,
Although they're assholes,
They don't claim to be otherwise.
They don't let time take control.
Neither kids or adults,
They just live life.

And I find that those are my kinds of people.
