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....

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...
