I see the world like no one else ever has
With one look I can find the deepest meaning
In anything

I write them down in poems
For they are holy scriptures
Which I know shall be worshipped
For all eternity

I am
No longer man
But a
Poetic deity

Every time I see you
Starring at me from the mirror
I grow to hate you even more,

It’s the LUST  in your eyes

The ENVY  in your heart

The GREED  on your mind

Your GLUTTONOUS  habits

Your SLOTHFUL  nature

The undeserving PRIDE in your stance

And the WRATH  in your smile

These are the reasons I loathe you.

I look up to the sky

The stars shine so bright,
Each one a beautiful dream,
Each one too far from my reach

But these broken dreams are mine
So I’ll piece them together in my own sky
Hoping

they will shine just as bright

I go to bed indulging in fantasy,
              
            I Wake up broken by reality,
          
                I go to work chained by insanity,
            
                   All while FEENING for my fantasy.

What is the meaning
Of meaning
That’s all I want to know
The purpose of you leaving
And the meaning of your soul
No I don’t want your poetic explanations
I only desire your poetic lies
To distract me
From this question
That’s all way drifting
Through my mind.

The world I see today,
From the melancholy
Green of the grass
So freshly beheaded

To the prissy and narcissistic
Stances of the flowers in full bloom
Expecting  meaningless approval

This world stretches all across the oceans greedy desire to take everything
From the us
Even if it means killing itself

The world I see today is sickening!
I wonder what world I'll see tomorrow....
I see that the world changes with my emotions. It can be beautiful, it can be disappointing, it can be numb.
