I don't wonder how heavy that feeling in your chest is
I often don't wonder at all.
I often find myself being perceived as foolish
But sometimes I'll make eye contact with a stranger on the brink of being an acquaintance
And I feel like the flat palm of earth, some shovel digging into me with its unique man-made curvature.
They've perceived something "deep" about me. Oh, how taxing, a mixture of sarcasm and self-deprecation because what would be wrong with that? I like to believe that I'm good at being vulnerable but maybe I'm just good at handling being projected on. Or realizing when it's happening.
Or maybe it's the opposite. I don't know. I don't know.
I often think I'm being perceived as foolish and I think it's okay, it's less limiting.
Maybe, most everyone is just crazy in a world of immediate interaction, that aspect of history being so young.
There's something hypocritical about this situation of emotions.
Overall, maybe I just hate eye contact because it's so easy to read.
