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....
Absense of light
No end in sight
This grip you think you have on me
Tightness of breath
Thinking that it’s death
If this is true just let it be
Hallway of corruption
Or what is seems to be
This prison that resemble free
Transcend from above
Cuz you’re deprived of
That trail of fear that follows thee
One day,
One day,
You’ll see the last of me
Relentless sense of passion
Just waiting to str...
Beautiful teacher, wonderful instructor
I pray you return to work seamlessly
Composed like a seasoned conductor
Directing melodic phonics effortlessly
Embarking on this journey's final phase
Your story's next chapter has been approved
As you finally hand in your notice, praise
Then notice the weight being removed
From your tired shoulders and admire
The strength that remains within them
Fro...
when the world went quiet,
my thoughts went loud,
sleepless nights of nightmares in the silence,
all my walls could hear were echoes of my screams,
at midnight i finally woke to find myself again,
i searched every inch of skin in my body,
trying to find a solution to the loudness,
but you can’t find one if the one creating it,
is you,
and your mouth....
It started with a mist
I blew and blew but
It was only water
It couldn't hurt me.
It grew heavier still
But I waved it away
If I could see through
Then I would survive.
Through the months,
The fog hung over my brain
Like a thick weighted blanket
Trapping my thoughts
But I was functioning
I didn't need help,
I didn't need help,
I wouldn't need help.
They tried to help
But I told them I was okay...
