English I write. I believe the style is called splurging. / / I'm on Twitter @Maxx_Watt
hang futile objects    and applaud the bursting of their vessels    nod with approval their reddening eyes    as life is drained and colour destroyed    clear blue or jade    now messed up and strained    burst screaming out of the skull    commend the death of things    that we,    the sitters of chariots    the masters of dogs    the burners of oil    have no use for    that we,    who redesigned nature    can not benefit from    we,    who for ourselves exist and conduct the orchestra             of an axel´s turn

hang futile objects
Chased alone by Exterior Judgment he found himself face to face with The Mirror, Its surface winked at him, but the person who stared back from within did not. And then came his Interior Judgment. He asked of The Mirror, “Phase me out, Obfuscate me, Obliterate this judgment I feel. Make me concrete against which solitude will beat its relentless fist so that I will no longer bleed or bruise” And so came his christening, the depth of shallow water. For years he paddled and splashed there knowing his time would come, Because this was where real pleasures lurked, just beyond his reach. “Cloak me here, Keep me invisible to all, Except those who matter, And then take me blindly to my coffin” And one day, while he lay in the pool, he felt the world’s foot on his back, And he gasped for air, though for what use he didn’t know. Years later when he finally captured his breath, the only words left were: “Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop.” And now he stares back into The Mirror and the Mirror glares back. And he wonders who he could’ve been. Where all those years had been spent.

Misery is an unrelenting downward escalation. The heaviness of trapped energy becomes real weight, it drags you down and fastens you into position, a relaxed position, though you are not relaxed. Placed this way, you burn as unstable chemicals burn, fall as heavy objects fall when dropped by those who possess them. You are abandoned. Left to stew in this pit of flames. Those you danced and laughed with stop holding you hand, for who would wish to cling to a burning thing? This is why you deal with The Issue alone. Because those who claim not to need anybody are liars who wish to justify their solitude, who wish to bury the fact that their companions, when proven incapable of helping, no longer wish to help. Alone, you are disgusted with them. But now you understand. You do not act as they do when the black clouds part because you have gained more alone than they ever will together. And when you see the blue sky again and regain your ability to fly you will forever leave them and theirs behind.

Misery is an unrelenting downward escalation
Torn between a hundred mindsets, never resting on one. See-sawing back and forth, swinging high and low. Spinning on the roundabout, experiencing a thousand views and one. There's no black and white. Who would want to see in such binary vision when the multitudinous colours are incomprehensibly twisted and ugly and so rich and beautiful? Duality? Quadrupality? Infinitality.

Perception
They don't care why. They don't care why. You can laugh maniacally, burst in screaming, burst out crying, and they will look at you cheaply. You can lie fetal and slam your fist down repeatedly. And they won't care why. They don't have the patience or the sympathy, to dissect it. They act in a societal manner and expect you to reflect it. The only thoughts your outburst evokes in them are those of how their lives are affected. They don't care why. They don't care why.

Life is not hateful. Nature is. A person can't make It happen so he acts as a shark and moves without remorse, though a mere ten second's contemplation and emotional, intellectual understanding of the things he, without sorrow, ignites in his wake, would be enough to force his hand to tie that well deserved noose and slip it around his slimy neck and hang himself dead. He, much like a snake, is deaf to the screams of those he has bitten, and blind to the ruin behind him. His one track mind - his selfish mind - which blocks out all that his nature doesn't wish for him to acknowledge - does for him what is convenient for him. Eliminates the reality for him. That is his nature's wish.

They say that psychologically we all got triggers, but they're just part of the guns to our heads. A day job requires you to hit certain figures and in that regard those triggers are all pulled simultaneously I don't say it lightly, the lot of us are simply doomed if we stay here. And truthfully that's what I dread. The fact that we never move from this ******* room is a constant testament to our nature. our divine comedy Have we become futile? To tell you the truth, probably. Who did that? Them or us? Who tossed away the toast and handed us the dry, hi vis laden crusting? You, my friend. You who tripped. You whose mind is stripped away

Inward fury The creative jewelry A mind plagued with fire As it counts every turgid wire Time spent here is sorely a waste The mind surely starts to operate at a slow and let's be honest ******** pace **** this place.

****
Crawling into my own head space only reminds me of the mediocrity that climbs the walls of every town and city. Every thought that races furious around my brain screams that I can never be the curious one. Just the One who observes and never truly finds his home. Just the One who whimpers among those who talk big and in arrogant tones. An unfamiliar thing that never embeds itself in- to my being. Talk of arrogance - everyone has it. Even those who are above it. Even the One who is not amongst the arrogant, because he is alone with it. He does not confide it. For the One who sits alone confides only in himself and shares his arrogance with nobody. Why else would his self indulgent scripture be titled as it is?
