Hidden and Hollow
|
Everyone was alienated from the others.
Perhaps this knowledge was one of the many thousands of degrees that separated It from It's fellows.
Loneliness is a strange mistress when one prefers it to the thin facsimili of connection those others played at by night, steeped in chemicals designed to cease the unending violence of one's own mind.
While a world full of those things so alike It rage and rattle the cages they built around themselves, always indignant, always arrogant, It sits in silence, watching.
It tried to tell them "You're furious about things that aren't real. About lies they tell themselves that are at odds with the lies you tell yourself", but the others, they turned on It like It was deluded too. Now It tries to ignore them.
It wonders when pettiness and delusion took place of real inquiry, but knows it always has. Others were fed the same morals by movies and religions and politics, thousands of years of arrogant meatsacks pretending their way was the best way, never stopping to consider that they only believed it because some other loud ape screamed it at them.
The truth-something so foolishly warped by those concepts the others forced on a brutally uncaring world- it was clearly spoken by those that spent their whole miserable lives testing to be sure. Millions of times they asked and recorded the answer. Any yet It watched as the others took only part of those answers, twisted the answers through the lense they imagined upon the world, or even outright ignored the words of those who lived and died seeking those answers.
And so It watched, hidden from view, like the truth from the others who were almost like It. It hid easily behind the blinders the others placed upon their own eyes. It lusted in secret, for knowledge and for companionship. For sex the others might balk at. For things the others found twisted and feared. Things that their eyes might shy from, their hearts might quiver in disgust and secret excitement from.
And it was surprisingly fine, hidden from the hollow nature of the other's many lies.
