Feeling like a fool

the silence is deafening. and so you plug into your laptop or ipod. but then you realise that even as the music plays, you hear the silence. it won’t go away. all you can do is pretend it’s not there. you pretend it’s not awkward. you pretend everything is okay. and eventually when that moment is gone, you pretend it never happened. and even though you don’t really believe that ignorance is bliss, you pretend it is.
