THE DEATH OF THINKING.


I HAVE BEEN TWISTING AND TURNING MY TIRED MUSCLES ON THIS ROCK HARD BED. 
SLEEP LINGERS AROUND MY EYELIDS BUT THOUGHTS OF THE WORLD RIDE ON MY MIND.

WHENEVER I PUT MY FINGERS TO THE KEYBOARDS, THE WORDS DISAPPEAR
but when I lay down to close my eyes, it all fucking comes at once. 

OVERTHINKING AGAIN, SPILLING NOTHING BUT CLUTTERS ON MY BLANK SCREEN
AHH SHIT I WILL JUST GET TO THE POINT.
Everyday as I grow older, my small talk skills slowly disintegrate into the background.

THINK JOY, THINK, WHAT DO NORMAL PEOPLE TALK ABOUT?
Ask her about her family and what area she lives in.
OKAY YEAH, NOD YOUR HEAD.
Oh awwh, that's nice.
SMILE, SHIT NO DONT SMILE, THAT’S NOT FUNNY.
OKAY, NOW YOU SAY SOMETHING, LOOK INTERESTED. 
No, don't say that, she will think you are judging her!
OHMYGOSH YOU ARE SUCH A PRUDE! She says..

But why does the world not know about breast ironing?
Are single black women in movies like Karate kids stereotypes or representations of realities?
Why is an aunty twerking on twitter?
HOW DO WE STOP FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION?
Why did I never see jungle book as a child?
Will I ever be ready for a relationship?
DID I MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS?
AM I MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS?
FUCK OKAY DON’T PANIC.

THINK JOY THINK.
Or maybe stop overthinking.
BUT ARE WE BEING DESENSITISED FROM HARD NEWS?
Is it ethnocentric to think girls getting an early curfew than guys in some countries is not right?
Is freedom a western ideology?
Is that why we are still enslaved?
ARE WE REALLY IN A REVOLUTIONARY SOCIETY?

THINK JOY, THINK.
