I don’t ..... Anymore

I have grown, I have matured.
My interests have changed, my mind has explored.
I have felt, I have seen, I have touched and I have been.
My ears have heard enough cheap gossip, enough nonsense and enough bullshit.
I do not tolerate hypocrisy anymore.
I don’t... anymore
 
I decided not to breath the same air with those who live for other
people anymore, those who show off.
I isolated myself from those who make small talk.
Let us talk about death.
Let us over think.
Let us make sex the topic of our conversation.
Let us talk politics.
Tell me something about science.
I want to talk about atoms.
I want to engage in academic conversations.
I don’t do small talk anymore.
 
As young as I am, I have been hurt, I have had pain.
I do not want to be associated with those who do not give
compliments, those who do not encourage, and those who do not give back.
It is not arrogance, it’s just that I have been warned about life.
I do not entertain negativity.
I’ve learnt life through other people’s life experiences.
I was taught to choose my surroundings wisely.
I no longer surround myself with disloyal friends.
Friends who smile at your face but frown at your back.
Friends who cry with you but lough at you later.
I show no interest to those with academic arrogance.
A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.
I DON’T..... ANYMORE!!!
