Neglects received reply.

I'm so sick of being
Neglected
And disrespected
Everything's completely disconnected
I'm left alone, as I reflected
Upon the constant criticism and abuse I've been
Enduring
Without regard
For any reconnect
Ion
Concoctenated thoughts
broken brain waves
Adieus
To all those
Who've taken advantage
and abused
With deep neglect
of all the truths

The manipulation tactics,
Leading to deceive
Living the Rollercoaster life
Ha! Not even a funny coincidence,
if any,
More like a cathartic relief
Stemming from the finally present reality
Stealthy past revealing
That when you ask people
How are you?

There's an expected level of necessary indifference
A disconcernment for authenticity
But I don't give them the stereotypically
Expected and accepted replies of
"I'm great!, How are You!?"
As my back is already facing them
because I don't keep it moving
like
I don't care
Not me

I?

On the rollercoaster ride of life!
Moving forward with balancing ideas
I didn't overshare,
and have nothing to hide,
Why lie?
Why ask?>

How are you?

If you don't actually care...
and are looking for a white lie.

As I listen with my eager eyes, I

and

I, authentically and sincerely reply,

How are you?
