Trust Issues

In a place where we can't trust ourselves can we trust anybody else. People say that we will be our downfall and I kinda agree cause when we used to work harder we got places, and now we got no place to go because we are lazy leeches sucking off our own ancestors sweat blood and tears. But the blood won’t last forever. Every species must go extinct someday, I guess ours would just be going in our own flames and isn't that funny because we were supposed to be the dominant species and the most intelligent.

Our parents tell us,

Get up off the sofa!

Get off the computer!

Go outside!

In a place where no one is safe anymore, and my grandchildren won't even be able to leave the door so how do you expect us to go outside because everywhere people are vile scum, they feed off the misery of our society. We are closed up in our homes online, but even the webs got predators nowadays like spiders waiting for an innocent fly, but we still fly because we are dreamers and our species was made to dream but our dreams are shattered by the age of two because our parents gotta keep us locked away from society.

Is it safe?

Are you okay?

Are you sure?

I'm fine.

    And that's all I can say because my society is corrupt and it's my fault. And nowadays people think “fine” is some excuse like we are hiding something or a call for help, and we can't trust each other no more so what can I do? Because all I can say is I'm fine. I'm fine. I’m fine I just can't… I can't trust you.
