hard times make hard men
hard men make easy times
easy times make soft men
soft men make hard times

if another Carrington event hit nowadays, people would go into anarchy knowing their snapchat streaks would end. i'd be out selling candles on the streetcorner.

you are god

let your dreams not merely be figments, but pigments on life's canvas

never stop until the summit

when the rungs of the ladder break from above
only the strong-willed and agile can cling to the sides
and keep on climbing

life is so ******* easy. you do the work and stay sane. rinse and repeat. how people manage to **** up and allow me to advance above them is beyond me.

oh well. i take those opportunities. more money = the sooner i can escape from the corporate mountains to the real mountains

self reflection

here i sit
in the mirror
concave or convex
my reflection is perplexed
i am vexed
or hexed with abrupt beratement
to myself, clearer
more so in self statements
the shadows on the ground
they are harder than the pavement
i'm saving for my town
when this feeling calms down
but for now i;ll be found
in the seat
keeping one song on repeat
that is me
what am i supposed to be
i did not expect
to feel this way this long
one song
on repeat

Cobweb

The fine cobweb threads
that bind your heart to mine
are old now
difficult to define
I rarely move
these days
for fear of their decline

love is not this

love is not taking pride in puncturing one another
nor is it ignorance and infidelity
love is a thousand things;
but love is not this

happiness

what does it mean to be happy? at what point is your happiness fulfilled?
it is unpredictable and undefinable to distinguish everything that could possibly trigger joy.
and i think a lot of people are happy for the barest seconds of their lives,
which is why when you do feel happy and fulfilled, forget the future and remember the feeling
because it lasts only as long as it can.
