Reading Minds
Sometimes I think
how great it would be
if I could read people's minds.
Then I would be saved of
a great lot of troubles.
Troubles attached with
making a friend,
behaving in a party
so as not to look like a fool,
understanding mom's tactics
about keeping me from thinking about "her".
I wouldn't have to give in to
their bloody pretenses no more...
No one would succeed
in deceiving me,
and breaking my heart later.
I will read everyone's selfishness
before they lure me into their trap.
How great that would be, really!
But... would I ever make a true relation then?
Because I see no relation existing
without a purpose...
But there's still a lot
to enjoy through it.
At least, I would identify those
with the purposes matching mine own
without investing a lifetime into it.
Like, I wouldn't have to spare
my night-after-night's sleep
wondering about how to seduce a girl.
And no more maddening agonies, no more
craving of the soul... for a bloody damned thing
which everybody happens to want...
...but, unable to read people's minds...
