The dumpster
What is in my mind , sadness losses and cigarettes -dust and constructed
memories
life did not exist and I didn’t know it , have you ever felt like you’re waiting for something that will never come?
it’s a desert..one of those without an oasis
I was wondering what it would be like to live without people -I used to liken it to
the life of a child without toys ..that’s what people are to me ..toys ..
I break them down when they get me bored , sometimes they go south on their own and I throw them away earlier
at any rate , they end up in a dumpster …at times I think I hear shouts from it
but I do not go back..I find another

Losing faith in humanity is sadly easy these days..as people make it so. Good metaphor and end that sits with you. Good stuff! Thank you

Re. The dumpster
Yikes! We are in more control than any of us realize. We all have power. It's how we choose to use it. I think sometimes it's hard to remember that when we're so broken. And all of us are. It's just a matter of what extent. So, make a beautiful mosaic of the pieces:) I enjoyed your point of view in this write.

These lines packed a punch, I wasn't expecting that... Now my question, who empties the dumpster, if at all?
