I make myself so happy for no reason then stick my own back,
melancholic acts of treason, cut and measure my own lesions;
a line between pleasure and pleasing.
Not an pessimist nor a type of optimist but a realist who has mastered the execution of delusion and illusion.
Oxymoronic, Guess I'm just human;

Apparently the semblance of a god,
so making something from nothing isn't odd,
but I was given everything from a soul to my bones, hair to my toes;
Even to me who stays in this, sinew and ivory, home the reason is unknown but I know the weight of this form has its toll.

Ties made are rarly cut
more than the material is used,
bonds spirt imbued,
that which feeds hate and love.
My soul is the ocean my form the soil my mind the heavens so it's wisdom guides the toil.
What I put on to my body will seep to the sea, be it poisons or ointments that is to be seen, my wish for foresight seems obscene,
a noxious tint colors the scene
Ah this is but a show, how else can I explain the tragedies sown.

Who wrote this play?
No
Who paid its commission,
who conscripted us to suffer, no need for permission, no fine print played off as a simple omission?
Actors with no access to backstage
so it is do or die,
freedom in a cage,
the 4th wall blocks our eyes.
we get no reactions for our performance
no real feedback,
so we face our troupe like opponents, for no real reason.
Whilst some seem to flourish in a limelight others perish in darkness
some disappear through trap doors others fly with out harness.

seasoned thespians sometimes show us a way; how to perform our parts, from when they entered the play.
We are told there is a script, so I would say some have forgotten thier lines
but honestly the script has never passed these eyes,
all I know is that somes voices are drowned out by the soundtracks of anxiety and sadness;
The polyrhythms of fear and deafening sound of loneliness and madness
How could the director have this?

That's the purpose of a tragedy; make the watcher feel like they are living lavishly.

Wanted a reason why I find it so tragic.

In the words of Life 'There, you have it.'
Slam tracscribed. I've been reading some tragedies and re-realized that fact can be truly worse than fiction

"I would die for you"
It's a statment rarly true
Commonly said
Few people will die for you
Its funny how you can say
Say you love me
When we FIGHT you say I hate you
I wouldn't have it any other way
But I have one question
Just one It's
Just
Is
Is this love true love or fake love
Tell me it's killing me
I fell hard
Im still
Still falling
It's a hard question
Question to answer but plz
I would die for you
Truth yes
But
Will you Do the to same
You can say you would die for me but is it true

My love honestly
When we FIGHT
It plays a game
A game we all know
Of red light
And green light
The light changes
Some time often
Other time it
Well it
Changes rarly
Sometimes
It fights itself spray
And that's the truth
We are still young
But when we are old
When when we are old
When its a word used in love
Its good but very rarly its bad when
It can be good and it usaly is
When you read this and you loving someone right now think when we are old think it now while you still can.
