If this, that I am feeling Is but a fraction Of the weight Of the world Then, no wonder Atlas shrugged

Atlas shrugged
I am not fragile I am not a porcelain doll Or a baby bird I am not something to be wrapped in cotton wool He broke me. I built myself up They tried. I endured. Only cracking She tried. She failed. By the time you met me I am more glue and duct tape Whisky and ink And grim resolve Than I am person.   I am not fragile. I have survived. I will continue to do so. No. I am not fragile.

I love you Happy words Unless, they preced The dreaded, but Or feared, however Both can shatter a heart And I'm sorry. Because I love you, but There it is The rest of what I have to say Is white noise As your mind processes That word But Still, I will continue I love you, but I cannot I cannot do this on my own I cannot keep hoping for a word from you Sit here wondering Pondering I am slowly accepting You're here but not So maybe When you come back If you do I'll be here, but gone, too Moving, or moved on From you

I love you (but)
It's in cloudy lemonade In a cheap candy cane In the kiss of a lover Or an early morning smile In a goodbye kiss It's in the pouring rain And pounding hearts Gasping , grabbing greedy breaths In long drives Songs sung Out of time to the radio In time with each other In simple things Pizza and long talks A bottle of some thing cheap Kisses that taste wine-sweet And the places you meet Life, itself Made sweet

Sweetness
You're just like My cigarette Temporary To help forget That I am A walking debt A life that rightly Belongs to death And it may be The reason why I'm taking the fast route back The smoke in my lungs You on my mind Both to shorten my stolen life And "render unto caesar that which is caesar's"

Render unto death
You're like smoke. You take my breath away You numb the ache But i can't hold you I don't want to let you go But I'm not holding on If you'd rather be gone Like smoke on a midnight breeze Darling, won't you stay?

I am a philosopher Of folly An astronomer Of stars I dream Into the sky A painter, in the colours Of existence I am a dreamer Dreaming into the void I am human

I am
I consider myself fortunate, that I discovered absurdism at eighteen. It seems to me, one of those things, discovered in old age when you wish then, you could go back and do all differently. I don't have that, I am free to live the absurd life, maybe I will feel I should have lived otherwise, when I am old. But absurdism makes sense, for right now. I've tried religion, I was scapegoating, putting my problems onto a deity rather than taking responsibility. I suppose, I must live. And we will see.

Reflecting on absurdism in youth
Camus asked, his question A cup of coffee Or death? Because life has no meaning So the absurdists said These actions are equal They mean as much as you decide So why choose death I guess its saying It's no more or less Than life So every day When I wake If I'm feeling, like i normally do I have a cup of coffee Because coffee burns It is bitter Truthfully though It's over quicker Than a noose And why Should I Die? When the universe Will not Cry For me Another insignificant Human life To fork no lightning And to vainly Oh so vainly Rage, as Thomas said Against the dying of the light So instead I strive To be free of my darkness And to live free Live a life so meaningless Yet filled with beauty This I will do.

Absurdist ramblings
I used to disagree With Frost I believed that ice would be our end But you have kindled me Heap of ashes that i am And now. I know Because I feel desire That my world will end In fire Because my world ends With you.
