I will continue to come from a place where my intentions are set to understand and seek clarity; never to condemn nor reject a certain perspective, but to be open and receptive; especially, to change. “I’d rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right” —Elon Musk

Narrowing the gap when the space between feels grand Need not waiver, now

When I push, you pull The distance between us grows Please don’t let me go

toss away the memory of me in a disheveled mess of cleanliness— like a lost treasure, bury me in your bedside drawer. No one will know that I once stood here Lets be clear... I was never at home with you. So when you feel frantic and lost and you’re searching for the things that help you disassociate, instead of finding that thing or two, you’ll find me, staring back at you.

Tactless Dwelling
When did I become one with the machine? My body’s lost its meaning. When did my pieces become parts? It’s such a grimy feeling. Not a single original thought— Just an animation, turned on by the input of systematic oppression My output; just regurgitation Anxiety and crippling depression Time constrained by the weight of the world Do you feel the pressure? And you already know this Foraging for focus Keep your thoughts in sync Close your eyes and listen, but don’t forget to breathe Your mind’s eye is preoccupied with patterns on repeat They call it groupthink Whoop, whoop Thought police Loop, spiral, fractal Segregated sentiment seeking your sentience Coagulate and listen Maybe its madness or maybe it’s ******* progress Reel it in, just breathe, don’t regress Ya gotta feel the feeling Let it be, Fleeting Because you’re what’s real So feel your heart, Beating Now ease your mind You have to remember to forget it’s just the grind and you gotta play along sometimes

Yeah, you're pretty great; You're the life of the party! But it's in my head. . .

I imagine your gaze is fixed toward outer-space, your face is moonlit, and I'm convinced you're heaven sent I imagine my back is pressed against your chest and I'm safe in your arms I imagine, when you breathe, a breath touches my neck, awaking every cell in my body I imagine you could say, I'm excited by you. I imagine you ignite the flames that forge the sun; and thus, release the slowly seeping and fervent energy. . . Meaning, I'd imagine, you're the reason for my being, each and every day the universe speaks in synchronicity and I imagine our minds do dance around the thought— to trace each-other's existence; to transcend space-time, guided by the fingertips to experience the depths of sentience; it's an exploration of creation, the very allure putforth by grand design And I imagine, that while we reach for the stars, your eyes would match mine And in an explosion of discovery, you extinguish what it feels to be lonely And I imagine that's why You're my one and only evermore

What's the matter?
I've lost all pretense my walls are wearing thin now there's nowhere to hide
