[374] Infinite Jest of Living

It’s the end of the world⁣I’m screaming to no one at all⁣A lonely death of a lonely mind ⁣finding peace in its plight⁣Caressing regrets of our times⁣Sleeping with kindness at night⁣⁣Oh it’s the end of the world⁣Empires of kings and queens ⁣flashes of a dynasty⁣Killings of a hundred languages⁣Extinct animals used to practice ⁣Lying under [...]

consuming the way their body moves We’ve probably only watched ourselves 
in those private moments and we know how different we would behave if there was another person amidst our environment

My daily life is mostly a dazeInvolved in living the next momentTaking part in the uselessness of scrollingJust to be away from living in my headBut there comes this moment in the dayWhere everything is sky blue clearAnd it arrives like the everyday morning sunwhere I forget apathy, pity, validation, distractionand I am overcome by [...]

Chase the high Find the light⁣⁣ I’m a weary soul⁣⁣ tumbling down⁣⁣ I will be born again⁣⁣ I will make mistakes ⁣ Is it too late to call it off now?⁣⁣ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Stuck in an avalanche⁣⁣ Burying beneath the past⁣⁣ A snowy mirror reflecting a void⁣⁣ avoiding the forgotten lake of time⁣⁣ Deforestation [...]

[367] The Night Never Ends

Forgetful growth I learn that it’s easier to remember an existing memory than to form a new one It’s easier to learn because forgetting is seamless and all learning is really in the end is a seamless task of forgetting little details around as I close my eyes and wake to A whole world that [...]

[366] Roses and Thorns

Hidden in layers of mist⁣Fleeting sights of honesty⁣Morse code reverberates ⁣‘Seek a little help’⁣I leave behind parts of me⁣To chase the revered unseen⁣The wound hurts ⁣for the sake of hurting⁣‘Find me to heal’⁣The body wishes for sleep⁣The eyes for clarity⁣The mist offers none ⁣Only rain brought to my feet⁣⁣A luminous glimmer ⁣of a possible crown [...]
