Do You?
.
.
Do you ever feel the presence of
The focus of a lost generation
Twirling in the stardust of past sensations
While the simulation robs us of love and patience
Simultaneously craving ancients to guide so we no longer feel the need to hide, look over our shoulders at our shadows starring into our minds
Bending the everlasting light
Spreading into the depths of night
Fright and fear linger here
The question remains, are they too, afraid of tears?

Hurtful thoughts
And hurtful memories
Keep my mind up, wide awake.
Rest has become a prize for only
The stronger of two fighters here.
It isn't fair, from the start to end.
I'm exhausted, depleted from my will.
And the fight implodes
Just as soon as it started
Within a chasm
That can't be filled.
A black hole saw itself in a mirror,
Took one look,
And swallowed its pride,
Then swallowed itself
To hide away.
Glass of the mirror,
Acts like the darkness,
Swallows up the light inside
And shows you what
You think you see
But never what is really there
And look too close
It blinds you, blinds you.
I'm so tired. So so tired.
No one can tell
who's won this round.

Something has to be just instinctively done.
No early preparations..

Why? V 2.0
Why do I do even do these things to myself as well?
Not just of my studies, but of people too?!
Why do I choose the most puzzling, unavailable, unattainable, unfathomable, yet thought provoking folk?
I don't understand why... and I can't not, though I try... no matter how determined I am not to, I still do...

Why?
Why do I even do this to myself?
Why do I choose to attempt to create certainty from such uncertain, fickle things?
Why do I scrutinise what no man's found irrefutable?
Why do I study depths we can't dive far enough into without our lungs collapsing?
Why do I purposefully question questions so questionable they breed questions themselves?
Why do I put my own brain into a blender and hit spin?
Why do I not just leave these huge, big volumes on the "you don't have to know" and "this one's just too heavy" shelves?
Why do I find paradoxes of myself in paradoxes of the Ancients?
Why do I fixate on fixing my thinking?
Why do I not simply go with the flow, bathe in blissful ignorance, let the wind carry me away
Rather than ride a tsunami-wave in a squall, on a paper boat, that's now sinking? -

Lost Words
Sad how when a person is allegedly captivated, awed, inspired
Their once beautiful words just evaporate.
You'd think "how wonderful" such a thing is meant to be
Would mean they'd multiply and amplify, not see them dissipate.
My own words seem so disposable now;
They are taken lightly, or even possibly go not fully read.
Much like the pages of textbooks, crisp and clean, cost a small fortune
That were not even opened, and lay cast aside now instead.

QUARANTINED
I never thought that we will be inside our house quarantined. During these days when I scroll my phone, I can find that people only post pictures in their status and just squander their time in playing mobile games where they can actually find time to speak with their friends and have fun. Even though my people where detached from me, I said to myself, "Never disturb anyone. Because if people really love and care for me, let them find and spend some time with me". Now I am questioning myself, "Whether the human minds have become mysterious?". But still I can gain the power of being alone in this world.

Some people are just too emotional, and concious...
Emotional to the point where they are always concious what might people think of them if they show their emotions to someone...
Fearing someone may use it against them or someone might just use it to their own benefit...
They are just too afraid to open up emotionally...
Things do hurt them too, they just don't show it...
They do feel too... A little more than they should... But are too afraid to just accept it to people's face...
It's just feels messed up and confusing to themselves too...
And when someone says that they are emotionless... When someone says that they feel more than the them...
Well my friend you don't have any idea about what they are going through!!!
So just halt a little... You don't know what they are going through...
Cuz what you feel is probably not exactly what they feel too...
But questioning what they feel is utterly devastating!

My truth
When did morality become subjective?
Or maybe it always was, just like what we call to be "good" or "bad". Mulling it over I've developed an opinion that things seem universal and objective on surface from far. But on keen inspection, in today's world, most things more often than not are subjective and situational, molded by an individual's or a group's own beliefs. Nothing is set in stone. So who deems something 'good', 'truth' or 'moral'? Sounds strange doesn't it? But it's the truth, or at least, my truth.

Cry with no tears
Scream with no sound
Smile so no one can see
It's fun huh?
Driving yourself to insanity
Questioning why.
You can still feel.
Nice mask you got there by the way.
Insanity
People think it's a joke
They won't be laughing when they piss us off.
Oop their in the hospital now.
You want advice?
Laugh.
Laugh when you're sad.
Laugh when you're mad.
Laugh when you're happy.
Laugh when you have no fuckin' idea what you're feeling.
Everybody is dangerous but vary little know to laugh

Haiku Of The Unknown.
Perhaps I'm falling
I can't tell which way is up
Should I be afraid?

Control
Im not in control like I thought I was
Making my decisions based off of what other people thought of
If im supposed to be the only person unique to me
Then how can anyone truly know whats best for me
I was just doing what I was supposed to do
Stay in line and follow the rules
These are the steps to success
Be everything but yourself
Questioning "What the fuck they taught us in school?"
Side eyeing elders like who lied to you

Why.
I have you so
Ingrained,
So carved,
Into my mind,
The personified
Example,
Of everything
That I hate
About myself,
That I can
No longer tell,
Is that my voice?
Telling me to
Keep you,
Or
Is it you,
Wanting me
To pay for
my sins?

Bittersweet Epiphany.
I don't want you to know what's going wrong
What's going on
With me
Would you be that offended
If I amended
Myself
Without you?

Questioning Presence
Distance distorted
doubtfully trusting vision,
instantaneous moments
passing very slowly.

The Moon is Scared
Some nights, I awake in a flash sweat, gasping for air after terrible nightmares. The only thing there to greet me being the darkness and moonlight. My heart pounds restlessly for a few minutes, before returning to its somber beat. I return to laying down, but I keep my eyes open.
The moonlight fades from my room, so I look up and out the window. Why does the moon hide behind those clouds? Did I scare it, or did someone or something else possibly spook the fragile beast? Its funny how the clouds are so white in the day, but at night, they act as a cloak for the moon’s rays of light.
Sometimes I wish the moon wouldn’t be so scared. The moonlight can be so magical, much like that of a cherry blossom. Its beauty only lasts so long, and when its gone, it will never return in the same fashion.
