still here

i'm lying to myself.
i guess i'm hoping to recover from you,
but i don't think it's working.
at least, not yet.
when, then?
i can't believe you haven't realized what you had.
it wasn't too good.
you did deserve it.
and if you still need me like i need you,
i'm here.

stereotypes

i was thinking, like i sometimes do, and here's what i came up with:

stereotypes. you've probably never thought about why we have them. well, maybe you should start. it might make the world a better place. 'what are your thoughts, dallas,' you wonder. well, i'm glad you asked, because here they are: we're lazy. we've created stereotypes for every race, color, and appearance because we're too lazy to take the time to consider everyone we meet on an individual basis. i know we're all busy in this age of technology and starbucks, but if we would just think for one second that maybe we're not what we thought...well, we'll never know, will we?
