White Noise
You’re still out there
seeking approval
from men pretending to care about you
giving them what they want
just in time for them to disappear like apparitions
And you
ever transparent
they see into your heart
and use your dreams against you
trust no one
the voices tell you
but the words get lost in translation
and it’s all just white noise
to a girl who
can’t seem to let go of hope
I am not sure what to say about this. Being a man with some years put in, I find myself and my old school ways perpetually under attack ableit tangible and or intangible.
Is there this much hurt caused by my fellow males? I could be so far off base about the interaction of both sexes that I have become naturally been blind to such.
Is it this one-sided?
When you’re an honest, open person, it’s always one-sided, because users always find you. This has been my experience. I haven’t had a decent relationship in years, and at this point in my life, I don’t even try anymore.
I know women are shitty to men too.
I agree that an open and honest person will be a target to the person of less character, which sadens me more than my words can express. The more I delve into social media, the more I find a very negative world and it is not like I am naive to the point of this being a complete surprise to me, it is just so much of it out there,
If both sexes are like this to one another, is there no hope for my old school ideals any more? I am far from a prude and even further from a Saint but I and those in my family and or circle, are not people to take advantage of anyone for any reason.
I may be a little presumptuous here but it would seem to me, after reading some of your writings that you have been wounded a couple of times. Again, I am sadened by this and for what seems to be the major reason, “menfolk”.
I do not have the right nor do I possess the wisdom in how you percieve matters of the heart, I do hope that you do not give up on finding a person of trust to grow and love in a way that allows yourself to be happy and fullfiled, if that is in fact the avenue you wish to pursue.
A little as this may mean to you, I do enjoy your comments and your character. I hope this continues for a very long time. Here’s to you Kiddo!
I have been trying to limit myself on social media recently for that exact reason. I believe I was a happier, or at least maybe more content, person before I was on social media. Twitter really is the worst of all of them, and I’ve had some bad experiences on there. A lot of what I see on Twitter, from men and women, leads me to feel like I will never be able to trust anyone again, because so many married people are just on there cruising for something they think will be better than what they have at home. It’s sad to me, and makes me lose faith in people. But on the flip side, I have met a few really good people.
Amen!
