out of concern

"i aint see nothing jus forget about that s**t here this'll help" -home

Inaudible: "I don't even f*****g like this."

I doubt that anyone has "nothing" to say-
and...
it's not that I won't believe anyone,
because history shows I trust entities freely,

(genetic "wisdom")
and I do take it seriously.

But-

The distance in relating oneself to the world can close whenever you want it to close. 
It's okay to have a curious,
or even annoyed reaction 
to hearing the myth that you can only use ten percent of your brain as a human being. 

Honestly, if you are not using the ninety-other percent...
who is?



And I wait for laughter, not applause or teardrop tale.

You know that 10 per cent of your brain thingy has always fascinated me. I've always wondered how they measure it and if I was tested maybe I would be embarrassed to not even achieve a double figure. Your posted image reminded me of the bridge in Monet's garden on a bad day and in bad light. Please excuse my ramblings but that is where you took me. You certainly engaged my grey matter on an early Sunday Easter morning.

i absolutely love this. i honestly can't explain why. maybe it's the prose or your diction - either way i support it and am looking forward to the rest.

Aw, thank you so much!! I appreciate that, I've been unconfident and absent from writing lately, so this feedback helped. Thank you :)
