A very specific attack launched

Does it make you feel better? Over-exaggerated expressions drenched in superficiality meant to draw meaningless attention to yourself? Your voice shrieking because you know no one would bother to listen if you talked in a normal tone. Shirt down, skirt off - flaunting skin because you lack a viable personality to show off.

Does it make you feel better? Relishing in relationships that mean practically nothing. So much of a nothing that they don't even deserve to carry the label of a "relationship." Attaching your hands and lips to whoever is willing because you're so empty that you have to turn to physicality in a pathetic attempt to fill whatever void you've been sporting for years. Hours of your life spent in weightless hook-ups - the beauties of love and care denied in the face of raw lust.

Does it make you feel better? Night after night, wasting away in a pool of alcohol because you lack the dignity to search for a more wholesome, alternative method? Getting intoxicated to the point of amnesia and stupidity that you can't even control. Not just occasionally, but whenever possible. Such a monotonous lifestyle made out of one of the single most pathetic activities in existence that results in absolutely nothing but a brief moment of false happiness and a hangover the next morning.

Does it make you feel better? Searching all the wrong places in a sad attempt at repairing your waning self-esteem, but only wasting even more away as a result. To know that even though you're trying to hide from the truth with your superficial behaviors, that sympathetic eyes are rolling because of you, not quite knowing whether to be sad or disgusted.

And you know there's a better solution. You know it so evidently that you even tell yourself that maybe you should seek that instead But instead you deny the One who can make you whole in exchange for a sub-par life that will only leave you empty when it's all said in done.

Judgmental? Perhaps. But it rings true for someone. And maybe it's just a harsh reality check that will get that someone's life together, finally.
