unlearn

we've learned to be shells of our true selves
to forget what it is like to be human
to live through each day thinking only of ourselves
our busy schedules
what clothes might look good on us
what purse to wear with that outfit
to leave the world that surrounds us
to live only for ourselves
we are all ignorant to everything
because we are nothing
and we don't care to be anything but what we already are
progression is the illusion that lets us live without the fear that our hearts are breaking
but we are all broken
some more than others
and here comes a new year
but we live for nothing
we live for nothing
