when i was handed fake flowers
four years ago, no one told me that i would still need to take care of them,
that fake flowers grow old,
until they exist no more
the war started,
but i don’t seem to know which side i’m on,
because no one picked me,
just like in middle school
when none of my peers wanted me to be on their kickball team,
so i took up skateboarding instead…
i sucked at that too
if you watch any christopher nolan movie really closely,
take inception for example,
then you’ll realize
that it’s the dumbest thing in the world,
which isn’t so much of an opinion
as it is a fact i read off of a wheaties box
