If you could see you
With my eyes
You could see your kind nature
And just how amazing you are

I hope one day you can see it
Until that day
I’ll help keep that spark alive

all these feelings
all these thoughts
all these words
all these poems

for no one.

I love something that doesn’t exist
Something too pure for this world
Something so intense
It makes me feel a feeling like no other
It’s precious to me

Go on, laugh if you wish
But to me, it is more real than life

Where do emotions come from?
Do our experiences create them?
Or are they always in us?
Subdued, and then grow
Till one day, they burst?

Do they come differently for different people?
For some, do they not come at all?
I wonder this often
And then wonder where that came from
Irritating, I know

Well, no matter what the cause is
Or where they came from
I see how you derive your kindness from love
It makes me a better person
And that makes me love you
So I can at least say this with certainty
For me,
Love came from you

No one will understand you
The way you understand you
No one will always be there for you
The way you’ll always be there for you
And no one can help you
The way you can help you
So please, help you
The way you know how to

I awake from an eternal sleep
All around me reeks, with the beats
Of the beats of every being around me
I close my eyes and beg for the sounds to stop
But their forced open by my biological clock
I learn to walk, then to talk, and then I’m filled with so many thoughts

At night I stay awake and think, and think, and think
Never even stopping to blink, as I continually think
Why am I here? Where is here? What am I?
And nobody can answer.
“Life’s a gift”, they say, “be grateful you’re here”
“Respect your parents” they command so very clear

So I do as they say, I listen to every command
I remain calm, I remain sane, despite my brain’s insanity
Despite my own wishes, despite my dreams, that one day I shall be free
Not by the clutches of man, but by the imprisonment of my being
By my cell that is my body, by my vessel that is limiting
That not to death shall I do it part, no button for a restart

But I keep trying, I’m kind to every person I meet
But repeat after repeat, the response I get is bleak
Like I’m a freak, like I can’t connect with those around me
And slowly, I learn the truth about this world
The horror that everything is wrong, there is nowhere to belong
I can’t connect to people and they can’t connect to me

We’re trapped, forever to suffer in existence
But people look at it from a distance, because the truth is too painful
Too much for one man to understand, too consuming of the mind
Knowledge is a poison, it’ll rot you from inside
Over time, you’ll find that your parents were not kind
To let you come into this world with everyone but you in mind

Life is not a gift, it’s a curse
Out of all fates, it’s the worse
I will not continue to immerse in the lie
The truth we try to hide, the truth that we fool ourselves
Thinking we have worth, that one day we won’t just be dirt
That the good out weighs the bad is nothing but a scam

You are a victim, just as I
Don’t let society tell you otherwise
But please don’t cry, or be consumed with hate
Embrace the fact you have a choice to let your genes die
No need to multiply, stop your bloodline
And one day, you’ll be allowed to sleep again.

How do I describe the one I love most?
Beautiful?
That’s putting it too lightly
Friend?
That’s far too plain
Family?
That’s just too unreasonable
Lover?
Not a chance...

That’s too distant
