There's a homeless guy on the street:

I'm struggling to make ends meet.

"Any spare change?"

*Please explain how money can be fucking spare?*

"Sorry mate. Good luck though"

*Fake smile*

*Walks on. Head down*

There's a girl in hot pants and a crop top.

Mid winter.

Bus stop.

*She must be fucking freezing?

What is she thinking?

Fake smile. Head down. Don't stop*

Friendly face walking towards you.

A friendly face you don't want to talk to.

But you feel you have to.

*Fake smile.*

How's you?

*Fucking awful.*

"Awesome, you?"

Theres a kid playing music from his cell phone.

You don't want to hear those elec-tones.

"Is this music bothering you?"

*Yes. Turn it off asshole*.

"No, it's fine".

*Fake smile. Eye roll*

Partner asks what's wrong?

*We're broke, I've been depressed for so long*

"Nothing, I'm fine."

*Fake smile. Headstrong*

Boss asks why you're late.

*I overslept because being awake is too goddam depressing to handle*

"Sorry boss, the bus was late, my mistake".

*Fake smile*

Can you relate?
