Diffident Monologue

Improved Essays
I was naive, hopeful, and lost. The day that I came to understand that it was over. All that I used to think and believe died. There are strange feelings surrounding my head and I don’t know how to react to them. All the questions and demands that I hear have no answers. I’m afraid of acting wrong and cynical that, I’m indignant because I should know what to do even when I act diffident.

Their eyes know when I lie but, in this world of people who expect a lot from others, people lie to survive, people hurt others to feel better, they don’t act incisive, they act dumb. They can smell my fear, a feeling that tears me apart. It’s not hard, it’s easy to accept that in this little world where candid people are not found easily, we are over.

    “Thank you Old Lady Daniels!” I turn to face the faded white picket fence and continue to lightly skip to a rhythm, trying my best to dodge the cracks of the sidewalk leading out of the lady’s house. She sits on the wicker rocking chair on her dull porch that’s coordinates with her dull house which coordinates with this dull atmosphere. Once I start to get close to the road, I turn to face her to offer her a friendly wave. “Goodbye, Gregory.…

    It’s been a day or two since we’ve left this room. I’m lost and enraptured by the fragility surrounding our isolation. I spend much of my time counting things. I count the slats on your window blinds, I count the clothes scattered on your bedroom floor, I count the scars on your body. I count every different language and color I could learn to love you in.…

    I sat in my car gazing through the window as the lightning violently struck through the air. My heart was drowning in the rain as I looked at the broken picture in front of me. I have no dad, at least not one present at the moment. I see a mom at her wits end trying, but I know it's all pretend, an illusion that doesn’t have an ending. Looking at our house, our doll house, with all its broken figurines I can see the lights are on…
