The nerves of steel

A poem.

Ignorance and overall lack of consideration for others in any form.

Tolerance.

What is tolerance? The ability to give no care to a situation. Maybe just a little care. An inkling of a care. The light at the end of the tunnel and you just have to see it care. Tolerating it, you, them. Tolerance at its finest sifted through the vast ocean of small talk, the forest of surrounded by the trees, and finely tuned by the biggest smiles but quietest mouth.

Let your headrest while you let go of the tolerance. It’s time to rest. That burden to bear weighs more than one might expect, dragging their feet in the mud behind them.

Little by little.

Inch by inch.

There's never winning when the tolerance is overwhelmingly one-sided, or the lack thereof.
