The Incoherence of Telling Your Brain To Figure Stuff Out
"I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me"
Foreigner
There's a disjoint between giving and receiving love
There shouldn't be
Hypothetically speaking someone shouldn't feel unloved at the times love is supposedly evident
Love languages might make sense of it
Perhaps I could make sense of it
If I said quite clearly that I do not feel loved hypothetically speaking
What am I hypothetically talking about or doing in this hypothetical situation
Not feeling warmed by the sun
Not feeling seen or a presence at all
Hypothetically it's the pits
Hypothetically I might see others being nice to each other and feel sad
I'm like a little tug boat attached to a ship that's forgotten about
I should read up about whether that's even a thing
I see what love is - I'd love to be as loved as the dog (I shouldn't aim that high)
After a lot of stuff happening I'm moving towards authencity
That's tricky if no one wants to hear you speak
Is anything helpful to say?
I don't know but I think it's a real shame that I'm singing Foreigner songs to deaf ears
Hypothetically of course
I was actually wandering around singing Lazy Bones by Paul Robeson in an apparent no care in the world way
No one noticed (I'm the lazy one, this isn't a dig. It's a good song, I recommend it)
Maybe I'll change my tune
