For so long

I’ve been waiting

Hoping

Wishing

Praying

For you to come back.

But for so many weeks

Commenting

Looking

Doubting

Weeks ago

And for so long

I’ve been looking

Reading

Writing

Crying

Because I’m pretty sure we were friends.

Ish.

That post,

52 weeks ago.

It’s officially been a year

And for the first time it’s clear

Maybe

She’s not gonna come back....

i’ve been

thinking

about you

for so long

i couldn’t

remember

if i really

did love you

and then

i watch

Peeta and

Katniss

in the cave

and realized

that that

is exactly

what i want

for me and

you

i can see

it now

you and me

clear as day

and beautiful

as night

so maybe

you’ll find

that clarity too

through something

of your own...

Reality

What is Reality?

When I look around me I don’t see real

I don’t feel real

It’s like watching a movie in 4k

Everything feels so perfect but it’s not there

I’m not here

Or am I?

Some moments I feels as though surely I am alive

Most days I don’t believe anyone is

Most days I wonder what living is

Chasing after something you can never catch?

Dying for something you will never see?

What is real...

Of all the gifts society has taken from the Greeks,

None convey relief and comfort like that honest shriek,

To be in doubt, or consternation, rifling in the plot,

When then, at last, an issue saved by solution you forgot,

The mind is burdened by its thoughts in our most trying times,

But feels the weight lift like loosed stone when thinking realigns,

And so it stands to reason when one almost star...

Teach me serenity

Not to treat life like a series of earthquakes

Teach me to make others laugh

Instead of always calling out their mistakes

Teach me to cheer people on

Not disclaim their successes

Teach me to be a winner

To rechannel the anger that depresses

Teach me to pick myself up after I fall

Not wallow when I don’t get it right the first time

Teach me to smile in spite of it all

Not to...

In the fog, I wander, dazed and blind,

A maze of thoughts tangling in my mind,

Each step a guess, each turn a prayer,

In a world that’s spinning, I’m lost somewhere.

Questions rise like smoke in the air,

Swirling around, pulling me everywhere.

Answers hide like shadows in the night,

Flickering out just before I find the light.

The days stretch long, the nights are cold,

And dou...

I am watching myself sleep

I am feeling the sheets shift

As I fall in my dreams

As I slip in the street

In front of a crowd

That laughs in surround

Like music in a lift

Descending

Never ending but maybe not

If I stop all my misbehaving

And keep a list of myself

And my parts as well

I could be lighter

And get caught in the wind

Or the backdraft

Of a shutting door

Followed by a voice

‘Say no mo...

I’ve got an ai generated face

There’s so many errors I can place

My brain is rusting, gears barely move

I can’t tap into humanity’s groove

I got oil in my body, spilling out my throat

I got pain in my soul, so I’m building a moat

Black oil sea, gates painted hateful red,

I’m set in the crumbling castle inside my head

The castle walls are covered in decaying flesh

Bodies still moving, how t...

I’ve been lied to all my life

I feel numb to it now

My icy glass skin

Easily shattered to the ground

My words pouring out

Into a void no one can hear

Over all the noise

I shed tears piercing my eyes

Yet I’m still intact

I wish I could go back

I’ve been uncertain for so long

I was wrong about this

Who am I?

Did I ever even know who I was….

Maybe existence is never meant to be fun....

I’m confused,

And I’m mad,

I feel like I’m being lied to,

But I have no proof.

The line between truth,

And make believe,

Is thinning,

Becoming blurry....
