Social Elites

No more reality please

By Sadie ColePublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

When I read, burdens lift and reality retreats.

Too much of society and my energy depletes.

I want to sit in the grass and read books,

because my fragile soul is on tenterhooks,

from listening to social and political elites.

    We're all supposed to be endlessly fascinated by everybody else's socio-political agendas that we don't give ourselves any attention- sigh. You always get me thinking Sarah. Thanks!
