Goodbye Bullshit- The Purpose of the Bubble

Why Associate yourself
with people that bring you down?
People that close your heart onto the world?
They don't care for your success or happiness.
They enwrap themselves in you failure,
keep you tied to a single spot
while time chaces
all around you.
Move Forward.
Don't let their grief
for their own success hold you down.
Don't close yourself to those who are good-
on account of another's bad will.
Why associate with those that don't give two shits about you?
Why should you care about them?
It's pointless to occupy your mind with meaningless thoughts.
Does that satisfy your hunger for happiness?
Form a bubble.
Within it, focus your energy on goals for yourself.
Direct good will at those who are true and keep them inside with you.
Distinguish
between reality and bullshit.
Seperate the heart beat and thought.
I assure you the beat is alive.
Outside of the dome
are those that feed themselves with bull shit.
Keep a careless attitude toward them.
Bullshit, yum!
They don't affect you- they keep your heart cold.
Keep the beat silent and direct it.
Why let these
'beings'
occupy your time?
Occupy your chance for happiness.
They think they can step on you, block you from your will.
Bullshit; unanswered.
*
Get out there.
Jump in with two feet.
Enjoy.

yay! well done. I think the one problem as to why people let other affect them is because they don't realize they're are being affected and that the ones to blame are those they are surrounded by. But if we ask ourselves the questions you did in the poem, then its a step in a better direction! :D

It's as if you have a blindfold on, constantly, while talking to such people. It is difficult to distinguish whether they are your true friends- or simply using you to better themselves. lol. I was caught in a convo where this individual was constantly complaining about me bein busy-never makin time for them- got so far as to name calling. Why bother and worry about such things- I just blocked and deleted them- something I find myself doing often now :/

Funny cause I always speak of the bubble. I only have 2 real friends. One is 3 hours away, and I have seasonal friends through out the year. Get tired of them after a while haha. Hate people, especially selfish ones!!
