UNSEE

Once I saw it, I couldn’t go back.

Not to the way I was.

Because once I recognised it, I realised it was everywhere.

TV, movies, advertising.

In all the schools and workplaces.

It was coming out of everyone’s mouth all the time.

How can they expect me to participate in society anymore?

I don’t think I can.

I think those days are behind me and I’m too far gone.

There’s no option to just forget.

To just be blind to it.

That’s not how life works.

That’s not how I work.
