The Development of Dead Eyes: Part Ii

this person strips themselves of the cast which has been
molded round them,
while the constant beating from the world
brought only severe bleeding within
understanding now that the rules that one is supposed to
abide by,
in order to correctly maintain a life according to the 
status quo,
is just not possible anymore---
in fact, it has been made impossible
by the very system that wants to maintain it.

the “bad apples” must be recognized as such by all those
“good apples,” so as to keep these cute little bunnies from
jumping out of the basket---
and so a person finds themselves 
“resorting” (as if one had a choice in the matter) to ways in which
a solution can be acquired---
the solution may come in many forms,
but the intent is always the same---
PAIN
MUST
BE
STOPPED.

self-anesthetization becomes essential to one’s survival
because the pain threshold of the individual
can simply not keep a person alive anymore---
the overwhelming will eliminate s/he who does nothing to
stop it,
and through the acquisition of means to an end which would
mean 
a continuation of one’s life,
said person is able to continue.

here,
the development of dead eyes occurs &
the world spends its time trying to
stare into them,
trying to ascertain the reasoning behind what has 
happened,
trying to 
make itself feel better about itself
always avoiding the actual problem,
always blaming &
incarcerating,
