# Fur real... Author: Jiblits Tags: Poem, Poetry, Reflections, Short Story, furs I think I've had my full of stereotypes matching perfectly...I need a break from the fandom...I need normality... Fur real... I've never apologized for something expected of me I've let my reasonings & the following actions play out for all to see Friends have died, family has turned a blind eye to the result I'd rather have been alone while they pretend such following was any different than a cult It bothers me when other don't see the basics, the reasons to stop talking & keep walking Their social understanding is very much non-existent, saddening & maddening all the same For a face clueless, it fills me as another person, with heavy-hearted shame We grow differently, but share so much Painful it is others don't learn, don't have the chance for such a mentally caring touch One-sided, but claiming to see the world round The look of doubt they have, what they never realize is deafening to see with no sound I've noticed a sad lacking of such reasoning among friends I call fellow furs The fandom has at times, too much for me to stomach in crystal clear reflections To see, somewhat understanding, different by miles of easily shown neglections  How I wish I could share reasonings with proof to change the numbers staggering in red Though, I know, such shattering of self-reassured fantasies, delusions, would leave many broken, crying in their bed I have no high hopes for the furry fans world round I only have expectations of a roller coaster out of control, only stopping when it hits the ground In this, there's relaxed thoughts for better places For now, I cherish however I can, sometimes smiling faces... Cheers to those who aren't in the dark claiming bright lights with a single spark  Delusions fine for a dream, but life is more than such a moment, a flash of what could of been I hope to see less shadows from those who walk beside me, who wake, in such a time, maybe I'll see you then... ---Thanks for reading---                                       ---Always--- Source: https://sofurry.com/s/yndNB37e
