the life of a recluse

before now
i could not comprehend the lifestyle choice of a hermit
people, are what make life worth living
right?
no way
i don't need anyone
people are stupid
i sit alone in crowded rooms
watching people act out their version of whatever they think people expect of them
just a bunch of pleasers
when they really aren't pleasing anyone
the worst part is they aren't pleasing the person who matters most
THEMSELVES
be yourselves, you idiots
if people don't like who that is
FORGET THEM
you don't need them anyway

at least real actors admit they're acting
you're lying to everyone when you try and pull this character off as the real you
plays are one thing
but you want your life to be a play?
fake?
i know sometimes life has drama but this is ridiculous..

"I know the parts of your past that haunt you the most,
are the days you weren't being yourself,
and i know that's why most of your past haunts you."

i'd much rather be alone with my thoughts than be around these fakes
tonight may have been halloween but i bet tomorrow night you'll still be wearing a mask
even if it doesn't hide your face
it hides more
