Well that was easy

A Story by Zippora

A ramble.

It was all too easy to change the topic. It was all too easy to change the focus and make everything impersonal. You didn't even notice. You never tried to being the topic back to the issue either. Did you even actually care about the issue in the first place? Or was it all just a game, just a ruse to make it seem like you care more. I don't want that. I am tired of people asking me stupid questions not because they actually care, but because they think it makes them a better person if they do. Guess what, I can see though it. Every time. It's easy, you see. Simple and easy. You only question how I'm doing and dig for details when I show without a doubt distress. Then the visible distress is gone, and the question of how. I'm doing never comes up again. It's too easy to avoid these questions. It's much too easy to avoid letting anyone in at all.
And I'm ok with keeping it that way.
