“What am I doing here, I asked myself? There was no answer.” “We drown in entertainment to avoid the silence where God speaks.. then complain that he's silent.” “You already have so much. Maybe it's time to finally see it.” I used to think over-explaining everything would make you want to talk about it. I used to think if I was able just explain myself right. That your understanding could help us ignore the promise of uncertainty. We couldn’t listen to one another anymore. Not without an officiating observer; an empirical fact-checking AI server. We lost faith in one another: -that anything was actually true anymore -that a dialogue spread corruption; brought disruption and was harmful to everyone as a whole. I hope your doubts bring you back to a dialogue. I hope you shake off the “ick,” and discover the swamplands of the soul. The humming din of the worker bees within. That which sires the growth within decay. That which administers the sting. I hope you begin to listen to the din within and learn to discern by an avoidance of the stinger and reply with choices strong enough to nourish new growth yet soft enough not to wake the bees. You have to grow from the inside out. No one can teach you, no one can make you grow. There is no other teacher than that which can be found within your soul. October 22, 2025

Depressed
Sometimes I think about the after-life and all of its absurdities Life is just a flash of light between two eternities There’s no hell below or heaven above You’ve already experienced the void So what are you so afraid of?

What are you so afraid of
there is a growing storm brewing on the inside every day it rages away it's getting harder to hide this storm takes place in all of my thoughts brings with it confusion sinister schemes and plots how can i support myself with all this heavy rain building up on the inside and messing with my brain when it gets too much for me all this gloom and doubt i tip my head downward so the rain can leak out

One column. Two Sentences. You choose the headline. Deplatform and silence. Coerce and align. One month, Two calamities. Refresh and it's gone. Nothing remains in focus for long. Digest the digests; digests of every kind. Fruitless echo-chambers self-censoring the mind. Theaters, Airplanes, Public transit; Empty seats. Next weekend two protests. Let me hear you in the streets. Gamma correct the pores off the very face of life. Featureless perfection. Expression goes under the knife. Flowers now grow upon flowers instead of good rain and black loam. Flowers feeding off fireworks; Their roots' refusal to go home. If I am to meet my fate by my expressions in the past. Let these words here written be my very last: Towards thee I roll. Thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; To the last, I grapple thee; From hell's heart I stab at thee; For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. With broken haul and tattered sail torn to pieces while still chasing thee. Sink forever into the violent sea. Though my fate is now tied to thee. Thou ****** and acursed whale!

A low crescent moon shining on a dark winter's night In this forest there's a pond which gives the whole town a fright This pond has a danger which all the townsfolk know They have abandoned this whole area to the glamour of snow The pond is leagues from here, further than a hectare Upon this forsaken pond at night skates a glowing spectre A figure all in shadow; in the blackness glowing white Twirling and gliding in the darkness dancing all through-out the night Dancing alone so gracefully and serene Dancing for no-one with no desire to be seen Her black and blue pond is lined with snowy trees Blowing from her direction; a cool and ominous breeze If you try to focus on her the image will surely shift Her movements appear inhuman, rolling like a snow drift Doubt your eyes for even a second and she will disappear into shadow It will appear as if you saw nothing; as if she were sifting snow For those who have caught sight of her a mere glimpse will not suffice When she gazes back upon you, you will step out on that ice I can't say what she'll do to you, although I assume you'll be drowned I can't even say for certain if a body has ever been found This may sound like an old wives tale, full to the brim with animosity Just do yourself a favour my lad, and keep still your curiousity

It appears to me that you're mentally ill Here is some water to wash down that pill Myself and my colleagues have all clearly stated You need to be institutionalized and heavily medicated

Our fixation with hand held machines And replacing meals with soybeans A spectator to arguments over vaccines We're all underemployed and "getting-by" by other means Living vicariously through our broken screens Lobotomized and abused; nearly at-risk teens Utterly lost in so many depression memes Farmed and sent out from the Phillipines Too desensitized to hear our own internal screams

Depression memes from the Philippines
Hi (Seen Jun 15) Hi (Seen now) We used to talk so often I wouldn't even say hello A chat was always pending My phone always aglow All that I wanted was to see how you are getting by I've been trying to for ages Without a single reply I know you won't answer Even before I hit send Remind me again when- our friendship came to an end? I tried to say hi Recently after your latest post I guess, a sense of belonging Is the one thing I miss most We used to talk for hours But now you are only ghost Nine years have passed Since we were in highschool Maybe I just haven't moved on Believing we're still friends like a fool

After two days on a drinking binge My nose began to turn red After three days of having drunken fun I noticed that the party was dead And the story it told of the good times that flowed It made me sad to think it would end You see I've been in the basement drinking a beer with no-name It's taste and low price is insane Intoxicated, I wont remember the name So there ain't no point buying labeled again La la la la Lala la Lala la la la
