Just block it out! Block it all out! 

It’s the self-absorbed cope everyone uses. 

Just block it out! Block it all out! 

Forget everything. Forget whatever hurts. 

Forget the good, along with the bad. 

Drown it in cultivated sociopathy. 

Drown it in the superficial. 

Replace it with convenient games, feigned relationships. 

Fear not. The egotistical moron will protect you …

With lies to be discovered later.

That’s the sensible solution. 

So say the mindless and dead. 

See nothing. Hear nothing. Feel nothing. 

Read nothing. 

Bury it all in a mental construct called the past, 

A forever excuse, an escape from accountability.

Surely that’s a healthy solution. 

Surely it’s not all still there, lurking behind that artificial wall, 

That frigid dam, 

Waiting for a crack to flood consciousness. 

Hide.
