innocence

have we lost all sense of it? fun for the grunt of us can no longer consist of something as simple as a swing in a park on a sunny day, or a run along the waves at the beach.

now we're subjected to the idea that fun has to be obtained at the cost of our untempered youth. drugs sex and rock 'n roll bitches, that's what life's all about. if you can remember the night, then you weren't having enough fun.

it's as if we're all trying to escape something, attempting to put something away that perturbs us so much that we're willing to drink ourselves to oblivion with no regards to the damage we inflict.. the manner in which we confront the complexities is more than unacceptable, but more so a sign of vulnerability, a sign of weakness.

you obviously cannot handle the pressures of life if you have to turn to the bottle or hash everything stress occurs. It's just a coverup, pushing off a load to be dealt with later, like sweeping the dust under the carpet.

i'm just left wondering where things got complicated, distorted.
