So the World...
January 27, 2016
Smile/ So the world thinks you're happy/ Laugh/ So the world thinks you're silly/ Speak softly/ So the world can't hear you/ Conform/ So the world can't see you/ Die/ So the world can't ever know you

This poem was something I wrote down in my journal on the bus after listening to one too many existentialist lectures in English. The whole point is that no matter what you do the world will judge you so the idea is to only show them what they want and then die like everyone else eventually will. Life is pointless if you aren't living it for yourself.
