Is It Any Wonder?

"And now I look a fool for thinking you were on ... Is it any wonder I'm tired? ... Is it any wonder that I feel uptight? ... Is it any wonder I don't know what's right? ... Sometimes it's hard to know where I stand ... It's hard to know where I am"

I am so enraged with the speed in which people are so quick to judge and criticise when they really know nothing about the circumstance, situation, nor anything about the people involved within it ...

You'd think evolution would prove people are more 'tuned in' when meeting a new face ...

Unfortunately, the people who have an ingrained bitterness reflecting on their own lack of happiness and sense of self are quickest to judge those who seem happy themselves ...

These are the sort of characters that lend an open ear when witnessing stories about an unhappy marriage, a broken home, a loveless and laughless life ... As it is easier to assume pity on another than it is to about face and reflect on what's happening, or should I say lacking, in their own life ...

Then when faced with a tale of love, laughter, respect and loyalty? ... They deem this an impossibility and start to create vicious fantasies on what they think is the marred skeleton in the closet, as to them such happiness is inconceivable ...

If you are too far gone a cynic to believe in the possibility that "the happy couple" is not just a sarcastic terminology but an actual reality to some ...

Well, what can I say? ...

Stop dishing out your bitterness, pity and doubt ...

As the only one who is bitter and full of doubt is you ...

Your criticism is desperate, irrational and pathetic ...

Therefore; there is only one who should, and will, be pitied ...

You.
