ode to the mundane
I’m so bored
I want to blow your brains out
when did you become so mundane?
While I look at you – envious
your normality makes me want to cry
‘cause I know that I’ll never have that
and a part of me wonders
why I would want to live
in a conformists dream
though you were always destined
for an easier life
with your uncomplicated ways
And it’s hard now to imagine
that we used to be friends
when we’ve no longer got
anything in common
and my fake smile hurts me
‘cause I’m finding it hard
to be genuinely happy for you
while I’m stuck in non-conformist misery
still trying to find my way
Though it’s better than lying
while aspiring to a white picket fence
that I’d just paint in blood
during one of my more imaginative moods

Mundane is so ordinarily boring. I could be envious of the simplicity of a life like that, however, I think that people often stress themselves out even more trying to conform to that life style.
It is less stressful and more freeing to be yourself and try and find your own way, then to live the life of a conformists.
I do understand the fake smile, trying to be happy for someone else who claims happiness because their life is "normal". So overrated.
I would rather paint the fence with blood too. I love this piece. I feel like you wrote it to someone I used to know too. :)

Thank you so much Rachel. :) For some people the mundane world works. That is all they need. I do envy such people, but I also feel a little sorry for them too, because there is so much other there than their small little worlds.
I was provoked to write this, and maybe it's a surprise I haven't written about it before (possibly because the idea of writing about it almost bored me into a coma) because I am around people all the time who can't seem to understand my aspirations for more than an ordinary life.
Peace, Indie.
