I am an adult now, so they say. / Being alone is my hobby. / I need a life. / Poetry? Never heard of it. / Sounds interesting though. Tell me more!
I still can't sleep I've piled up pillows and blankets And am now resting upright Against a large pile of soft things. I have written about my grief Now that has been addressed But there is another feeling That has been draining my capacitors. I feel a lot of love I feel love immensely. I feel love for every living thing that has ever existed And I am grateful to each thing For enriching my life And contributing to the amazing thing That is me. I can barely contain my love I want to declare my love On every mountain Every minute of every day It's too much I know lots of people who I love Who don't like to know that I love them And that hurts But it's okay Because really All I want Is for each thing that I love To have something good That makes their lives fuller That would be the most perfect gift to me.

Love
I am having difficulty sleeping. I have an upset tummy And there is some emotional turmoil in my head. I wish you all very nice dreams and Cuddles with your loved ones I want you to have something good That makes your life fuller. I always feel so much. I am always feeling And I can't deal with it all at once. So I put up barriers in my mind To block those feelings off And let me deal with them later. Those barriers used to be a lot sturdier But since some events in September of 2017 They have been very easy to break down. That is how I want it. Mostly I am feeling grief. I grieve a lot of things I grieve every loss Every grievance That has ever left someone with less That has ever left someone with hurt I have been told not to grieve so much For things that are not in my life. For things that are out of my control But I cannot stop feeling. I don't want to stop feeling And I grieve all these things because They leave me with less And they leave me with hurt.

I looked up and saw someone and she pointed at something in the distance. I couldn't peel my eyes off of her. I pulled on her hand but she only pointed. So I looked and now I want to stand but I need a little help.

Standing on my own
I want to tell you about my day the feelings that hurt me so bad until I finally sorted them out. But the more I tell you the more it will hurt when you reject me for whatever reason because you will be rejecting everything I have confided in you. So I want to start by telling you that I want to be closer to you I want you to be able to confide in me. I want to know what you care about I want to know how I can help when you are having anxiety I want to know you before I tell you about my day.

everything hurts
I think I have come up with a solution to the dilemma I described in another recent poem. It is a path I always knew was available to me but I did not know how to start upon it. I am happy that it has remained open. What is knowledge if it is not acted upon? I will now reveal my most painful thought, the burden I have been ******** about, because we need to do something about it. not just sit idly by as it destroys everything we know. My secret is a spoiler. The spoiler. The ultimate spoiler. The end of the universe. "the heat death of the universe" google it, and see. This is really hard for me, saying this, especially knowing that someone really cool may read it and suffer as I have. Please don't let it get you down. although, I'm sure you won't. But I have written so much already and I haven't given what the title has promised. The Solution is to construct a foundation upon which future generations of scientists, inventors, innovators, and all of humankind can build upon so as to not only avert this terrible disaster but to delve ever deeper into the vast reality we are born to

The Solution
I know a few things about pain. Sticks and stones, you know that one, you know what else hurts? Being powerless. Being at the mercy of someone you don't know. Having a complete stranger put you in a situation that you can't deal with that you can't do anything to stop that all you can do is to pick up the pieces. To be a victim. What you don't know can't **** you. At least, in this case, it can't. There is something that I know that I know you don't know (I hope you don't know) because knowing this thing that I know is killing me. That hurts, but what hurts more is being separated from everybody by knowing because you don't want anybody else to feel this pain and you know there is no escape from this burden anymore but you hope that there is but the burden reminds you (I have to omit this line, or I will be giving you the burden to carry) **** (I am using this website to show you I feel) (because knowing that you know how I feel is a comfort) (I am only human after all)

Things That Hurt *or* Knowing
Thank you for following me. Now I will use you as a target At which I will violently throw my worst feelings. I am at a crossroads Every minute of every day I am at a crossroads and I see that (most of the time, I sometimes forget) but today I am at a crossroads of particular significance. Today's crossroads branch in a million different ways: Half of them lead to my death One of them leads to a great life And one of them maintains status quo. Some of the ones that lead to my death involve helping one life now: my girlfriend, a shy, naive girl who lives the normal life the life of normality and status quo and cattle Others involve remaining in the dark corners of my house. I find it hard to be alone because I cannot see the light of life on my own and I never share that with anyone, because. . . I don't know. I have found that knowing hurts sometimes, but I can bear pain. I am of it. The path that can lead me to a great life is unclear. It might involve me burying what I know so that I may spare others the pain. I dream of having a niece or nephew, but I see the narcissism and selfishness of that, and I will explore that in detail later. The path that stays on track, the status quo, is the one I truly fear. It involves staying at home for a while, working a day job and hating every second of it waiting for an opportunity to present itself for me to get out of this horrible horrible place. I think normality is the worst hell. I think that in making this poem, I have started on one path and I will start another path when I write another poem. Is this poetry? What is poetry? I am going to stop this right here because this train of thought leads to darker places than you can imagine. Thank you, The Demons Within, for being my unwilling, unwitting target
