Social Entropy

I don't see my friends as much.

Too much social entropy.

If laughter is the shortest distance,

then silence is the longest

Climbing higher every year,

my parents seem so proud.

How long would it take, I wonder,

to hit the ground from up here?

The more zeroes on my pay check,

the more I feel nothing inside.

I just smile until it starts raining,

when no one can tell I'm crying

Repeating the same lines

to the same people everyday.

Until the words lose their meaning.

A paid actor with no salary.

I wonder what's worse;

that one day I'll clock on

and never clock off.

Or clock off

and never clock on
