A Bad Script

A light-hearted gentle write after being mildly annoyed :) |

Crawl back to your de-fertilization zone… that empty place you inhabit, constructed by your own abandoned dreams Its’ walls covered with the graffiti of your skewed vision and hopeless attempts to achieve, in the very least, some sustaining recognition for your fruitless efforts.
The crumbling attitude of your protective shell doesn’t allow for you to see beyond your own jealous thoughts
Venturing into areas you know nothing about Assailing those whose lives are so much richer than your own, you pretend to know everything, and ‘everything’ is quite a hard sell in the real world.
Presumption sets your course to a destination that never existed. A parochial road-map Of broad continents and tabloid thoughts, joined together and too tightly constricted to allow for any oceans of insightful depth
You pontificate and rally like a word-whore to those you despise, yet depend on, to provide you a warped sense of self-importance that feeds your arrogant pride of nothingness.
Using anonymity as a shield you target your prey with obsessive gestures of good-will subversively feeding on crumbs of fantasy Crumbs that fuel your demented vision of reality
Comfortable in your lackluster distorted, menial existence you betray those closest to you Unaware, they nurture your thin veneer Unbeknownst to them you lead a secret life A traitor lost somehow believing you are above it all, that you could never be unmasked
But unwittingly you bragged in an arrogant rebuttal to the truth You let it slip Revealed your primordial dysfunction Exposed your twisted disease Admitted to one of the many guises you created to fill your own inadequacies then tried clumsily to erase your tracks running like a coward to the protective arms of those who remain ignorant of your deception
You thought you could silence the truth and took to the low ground donning a silicon suit and touting your credibility A sub-competent slave in the universe of micro-data
From your demented vacuum you gaze in envy, at those more earnest and real who love and laugh who live life who provide ample sustenance and growth for themselves and their families while your own half-hearted misguided efforts continue to fall far short of affording you even the most modest closet-space in the universe of relevant thought.
You are lost in Cyberland reduced to a few quickly deleted bytes A perverted stalker in disguise Laying bait with a phony smile A bad script A guy with no balls… No real identity Grasping for acknowledgment from a small audience of none Feeding on meaningless accolades provided by a dissolving base of misled gullible peers
The substance of your life
is as thin as your plot-lines, and forgettable weak attempts at sub-standard half-plagiarized prose
The truth is your enemy As you graze amongst the shadows of delusion invading other’s lives
I won’t say “I have hope for you” ‘cause I’m not one to genuflect to a fraud But, as much as I hate it I actually feel sorry for people like you Maybe…Just maybe You could still touch the world The world you know so little about The world outside your myopic online life
On second thought
That won't ever happen 'cause you just don't have the balls
Oh well, perhaps I’m not such an optimist after all A realist is more like it in this case Get help

| Very well said. That dust will eventually blow away just like the lyrics state in the song; "Dust in the Wind". |

Don't tell the truth, they are going to punch you on the mouth.
There isn't a bad scrip, just bad bad bad life actors.
But, your point is taken.

This virtual stalker needs an attitude adjustment and some spiritual help it seems. You have impressive insight into this character.
"The truth is your enemy" ... is a sad reality for too many. Enjoyed reading this.
