I Don'T Anymore

I DON’T…….ANYMORE I have grown, I have matured My interests have changed, my mind has explored I have felt, I have seen, I have touched and I have been My ears have heard enough cheap gossip, enough nonsense, and enough bullshit I do not tolerate hypocrisy anymore I don’t…….anymore I decided not to breathe the same air with those who live for other people anymore, those who showoff I isolate myself from those who make small talk Let us talk about death Let us overthink Let us be bold Let us make sex the topic of our conversation Let us talk about politics Tell me something about science I want to talk about atoms I want to engage in academic conversations I don’t do small talk anymore As young as I am, I have been hurt, I have had pain I do not want to be associated with those who do not give compliments, those who do not encourage, and those who do not give back It is not arrogance, it’s just that I’ve been warned about life I do not entertain negativity I’ve leant life through other people’s life experiences I was taught to choose my surroundings wisely I no longer surround myself with disloyal friends Friends who smile at your face but frown at your back Friends who cry with you but lough at you later I show no interest to those with academic arrogance A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle I DON’T……ANYMORE!!!
