Waving and screaming

6/4/2019

Can you see me? I am waving my hands and screaming, but the world is so crowded these days and from a distance it can seem like all these waving hands are screaming the same thing. I've been climbing for so long, or trying to climb, but the ground is quickly sinking beneath the weight of all these desperate dreamers and I'm not sure if I have made it very far at all. Maybe I've only sunk from all this aimless effort I've been putting in.

Other metaphors swirl through my head, but I don't expect you to understand the ramblings of a madman so close to giving up. How the fuck am I supposed to stand out when everyone around me wants to stand out? We all want our own stage, but that leaves no one to fill an audience. That's why I am left to scream at an empty auditorium as I stand on a stage so full I can hardly breathe.

I am waving my hands and screaming.

Can you see me?
