why is everybody so weak?

"and god yesterday
i felt like almost never that clear before
that this is not my place.
i didnt enjoy just as you can enjoy
and i saw so plainly
that the people around me
didnt enjoy either.
they were fake, trapped,
all lost.
but they didnt fight, they just let go,
adapt and drink drink drink
smoke and forget.
i never saw so clearly that this is the biggest escape
from what you are and from what the people around you are.

if you manage to be above such things, even just for a
few moments, you feel good, strong and confident.
i am not gonna miss this place."
