Sometimes we simply get tired of trying to help those who refuse to help themselves. We give up and join others who looked numb and played dumb from day one. At least I did!
Staring into space, blank look on the face. Not responding, more or less desponding. Not talking much, acting a little out of touch.
Refusing to show emotion, no ship on the ocean. Hardly no talking, quite a bit of balking. Refusing to get involved, who cares if its solved.

Please tell me if I have.
