Kindness

Sep 2018 Diary of Jane

Kindness

If I've learned anything
from loneliness
it's that:
You have to love people
while they're still around,
or else you'll regret
for the rest of your life
how you didn't cherish them.
Remember to say,
"I love you."
as much as possible,
because of the kindness
you send into the world
will be brought back to you,
tenfold.

To the boy I used to love

Sep 2018 Diary of Jane

Madeline

To the boy I used to love

i can’t remember him
my memory of him
is slowly fading
i can’t remember loving him
so much that he was perfect
i can’t remember his scent
and the taste of his lips
maybe it was sweet like honey
spiced with peppermint
from all the gum he chews

i can’t remember the sound of his voice
maybe it was deep, but i’m not sure
i don’t remember how he smiles
but once upon a time
it was my favourite thing about him
i wish i remembered him
but what i do remember
is him saying goodbye

i remember the heartbreak
and salty wet drenched pillows
i remember him
and how he destroyed me

Two different views, of the same world.

Aug 2018 Diary of Jane

Nathan Alexander

Two different views, of the same world.

I wake up, it’s a beautiful day!
Changing clothes, putting my stuff away,
Nothing to ruin it today,
Hey!
Gonna make the most out of today!
Yeah!

Going to the bathroom, brushing my teeth, and-
(80% of the happiness you feel, comes from genetics.)
...Uh...
(And life is ultimately meaningless.)

Okay, going on the bus!
It’s a little tight, but it’s not that much of a fuss,
No reason to go nuts,
Yeah!
(69,000 bus accidents occurred in Europe, in 2014 alone.)
...What?
(Not to mention that the carbon emission is killing the atmosphere.)
...Jesus...
(Oh, and at least you’re lessening it by using public transit.)

...Well, alright, it’s time enter the school!
Gonna learn, till I pass everything!
My grades are screaming in my face; “it’s all cool!”
(You know what’s not cool?)
Bring it on, tell me anything!
(98% of what you study is a waste.)
...I mean...

...Nevermind that,
I get to hang out with some of my friends!
My friends are the bestest of friends!
Can't think of a better way to spend my time!
(Your brain is flawed, you’re bound to drift, and in any case all your friends will die.)
...Uh... Then...

I can live in the moment, use up every second!
(At any moment, you could get clinical depression.)
You’re wrong, I'll just be happy, no matter what's in store!
(It's quite genetic and we have no cure.)
...Uh, at least...

We are young!
(Not for long.)
Life is great!
(It only goes downhill.)
We gotta make the most of it!
(You’re likely to regret it.)
We are young!
(For now.)
Life is fun!
(For some people.)
We gotta make the most of it!
(Good luck.)

I got a brand new job today!
Doin stuff that'll help the economy!
I'll save money, and buy things at the store-
(Banks can crash and capitalism is flawed.)
...I... uh...

Um... and it's all because of my hard work!
(And the thousands of advantages you were lucky to get at birth.)
I put loads of effort in my resume!
(Good thing you don't have a black person's name.)

I've at least got a nice stable job!
(Until it's outsourced to China or replaced by a bot or robot.)
...Well then I could relax a bit!
(You'll be empty, with nothing to distract from it.)

But man, I'm a passionate teen!
I can be different, and I have career paths to pick from!
I could be a programmer, or a game maker, or even a YouTuber, if I'm lucky!
(Even if you really could be any of those, neither would make you happy, trust me.)

At this age, I’m still able to choose what I pursue!
(That’s a lie, and you're always a slave to people born richer than you.)
Then ***** it, I'll keep going,
And I'll party on the weekend, and sing!
(You’ll either get laughed at, or receive applaud, thanks to autotune.)

We are young!
(Not for long.)
Life is great!
(It only goes downhill.)
We gotta make the most of it!
(You’re likely to regret it.)
We are young!
(We still die.)
Life is fun!
(Until you’ll die.)
We gotta make the most of it!
(Because you'll die.)

Life is a wonder!
(You'll never know the answer.)
Nature is a miracle!
(Natural disasters.)
It's great to be alive!
(You could wake up with cancer.)
But I'm healthy...
(No matter how healthy, even healthy people get cancer.)

I love this show!
(It's probably the last episode there’ll ever be, or you have to wait weeks or months for the next episode.)
The sun is shining!
(It's going to explode.)
Every species is beautiful, and unique though!
(Children have malaria thanks to mosquitoes.)

I met a cute girl, with a ponytail!
(Statistically speaking, even if you two get into a relationship, it’s going to fail.)
I have a wonderful family, it's like no other!
(Considering your luck, your thinking is not special, and one day you'll bury your mother.)
No matter what happens, I can find a home!
(We will all die alone.)

This is the year I fell out of love
I chased myself away
From anyone who wanted to help
Because no one could help-

I let myself be broken
And I cut everyone else out
And I let myself feel lonely
Because I knew I needed it

I needed to be
With myself
So I could again
Be with someone else-

I needed to feel empty
So I could fill myself back up

The Poets Pen

Jul 2018 Diary of Jane

Brianna Love -aka Stormy Angel

The Poets Pen

There are hearts that break
in silence, with tears
that nobody can see.

So maybe,
                just maybe…

Some tears demand
to be written by the poet's pen,
so others can find beauty
in that which makes us cry.

Maybe,
           just maybe…

The tears of the poets' pen,
unveils the beauty
of love and pain
giving comfort to others
that they’re not alone.

And then again
maybe,
          just maybe…

There will be times
that nobody
will understand your feelings…

Write them anyway
because they are still
so **** beautiful!!*

you vs cigarettes

Jul 2018 Diary of Jane

you vs cigarettes

in those distant days, i said i never wanted to puff a single cigarette; i never wanted to put any dangerous substances in my system that would compel me to ask for it over and over again. you might be getting high off them, but the thought of they’d harm me—consume me little by little, gradually, until there’s nothing left with me but addiction and dependency is dreadful to me.

it all changed after you decided to break my heart.

now, i don’t care if i harm myself with cigarettes or any dangerous substances. i’m not afraid. because i survived you. you and your love are more harmful. the apocalyptic moment when we pressed our lips together, you also ****** the soul out of my body, leaving me a little to none of myself; you crept inside of me, savoring my vulnerability—they're even more harmful and addictive and euphoric than cigarettes or any dangerous substances could do to our bodies. yet i still survive, although i'm trembling every now and then with some pieces of you and me left in my grasp.

I'VE NEVER BEEN AND AM NOT

Jul 2018 Diary of Jane

I'VE NEVER BEEN AND AM NOT

I am not a follower
In any shape or form~
I chose not one religion
I wake to my own dawn~

There is but one reason upon this earth
This life is a school we learn untill we'er done~
And I follow my own sense of reality
Have done since I begun~

I am not a real good joiner
Not another sheep within a pen~
I practice all my own values
Have done since I don't know when~

I don't need their ten commandments
If you are a good soul you only need but one~
Simply always strive to be a good person
And the rest is from then done~

He never had or used fine churches
I learned sitting beneath a tree~
And treated all simply as if the same
Made common sense to me~

I knew from a glance where they had been
And what life they'd lived mostly as well~
I don't need lectures from my equals
One glance at most and I could tell~

My fathers values live within me
Dad proved it often there and then~
Said we were all come from the same place
We all have been before since time began~

Telethapy was once a thing I inherited
We all could use the longest time ago~
But because no one could tell a lie
Time soon changed that it's so~

I walk my own path and I insisted
That I walk it till my dying day~
Won't do anyone a bad turn
If they don't to course harm or go out of their way~

I can see and I know much of this life
That has not even today actually got a price~
One cannot buy it in a shop or steal it
Or keep it at home on ice~

Everyone has the gift that was given
But few they use it true~
For it's not worth anything to anyone in money
But it's worth the world and way more to you~

Time has diluted most things of value
Rewriting all that was ever said~
Hardly anything these days remain
As was written once then to be read~

Lost in mass opinions and as if bibles
Translations of the original scroll~
words do not mean what they once did
Not since the oldest days of old~

Theres oceans of deliberate confusion
Still fill our world even today~
And yet many still profess to know
That they alone they know the way~

Simplicity is my own personal view
So easy a child knows better still~
If children ran the world today
We'd have peace upon earth at will~

But I am not a follower
Or a joiner of any kind~
I walk to my own set of rules
My inner vision from within far from blind~
