21/M/South Africa l live next to a Jacaranda tree
Only random words can describe my consciousness. It is that very fact that l struggle in finding a purpose. Or rather in believing that l need a purpose. I remember my dreams asking why the magnum opus remains unfinished. Why do l await a merry song, to swing me away from my mind?

Unfinished Notes
"They took a man to the hanging", said the old man. "They took a man to the hanging", said the old man as a cough drew blood from him. "They took a man to a hanging", said the old man as he drew his last breath. They never took the man home.

Noose
l saw you across the road behind you a dandelion field. You are flattened to a billboard. Always stuck with a smile. If only l had the courage, it would be a decent amount of courage it would be the only courage, l have to keep you real to me

A silly Poem
Why do you sing this song with me? Whilst you sharpen your teeth before you sink them into your flesh and dance like a drunken fool. You close your eyes and colour your eyes with old bittersweet memories. My words, your words, their words, like sharp needles pierce skin, and colour skin with your fears. Tell me why do you sing this song? I wait in your shadow, grasp life from your breath. l await your tears, my old friend.

A happy Song
I pretend to be alone because l am alone. I pretend to cry so that you may cry with me. I choose to remain a shadow of my own nostalgia, so as to become a memory refusing to die.

to be alone from my loneliness, i constantly look down the barrel of a screen. my black void eyes absorbing its white neon light. i search for the limelight. But sometimes l ask: Why can't we heart ourselves, because we will bleed...........
