Sisyphean task, (i find myself in)
maybe that's the human way, (can't escape, can't escape)
stubborn, stubborn to the pain (conscious growth is worth the wait)
drift away, drift away (drugs will numb my pain)
what if we all died today, (no more horror,  eternal flame)
no more evil, no more pain,


(to mend the men of broken homes)
from abusive childhoods once known (to lead them on a better path)
away from envy, away from wrath,
towards brighter futures
and better tomorrows
away from pain, away from sorrow,

Ignorance
Donovan Rooney Jul 2019
We are slaves to the past,
built off the shoulders of giants, our ancestors,
credit given to God,
when shall we learn?

Like Woody in the ocean in Toy Story 4,
Inanimate toys become reality,
While reality deteriorates into inanimatonomy
Disintegrate the h8,
Peace is (never) too late

Donovan Rooney Jun 2019
Falling in love with writing is a curse,
and i dont want to be cursed,
but then again it's not my choice
maybe it's important, maybe it's nothing,
my only advice is to think, about everything
have fun

Flame

Descartes wax,
a dab strain,
take away the pain of yesterday,
Sour LSD,
inside of me,

a poem
but a second,
maybe forever?

til tomorrow
or yesterday

Want the page,
but not for fame,
just to see your face

dont want to interrupt,
thatd be rude,
have I already lost you?

Je l'ai perdu

peut-être je t'ai perdu

Hurt with pain that could have been
mixed and watered down,
and the drugs don't work,

Old me, who are you?

Ambiguity
Donovan Rooney Jun 2019
I feel it within me
It’s not pain, it’s anger but not anger
It’s not self pity but something more than regret
Where are you?
Why am I?
Will it work or am I just 10/6?
It’s a disease, I’m a disease
I will rot
100,000,000,000 years hahahahaha

Scared to die, but already dead
Scared to live, but already alive
Bullet to the brain?
But what would that do?
Dead head, needle threaded into consciousness
Plato made my brain play-doh

Donovan Rooney Jun 2019
Through you, unity.      
Understand us.              
Up, up, up
Drug rush
Abuse turns absurd
***** Junction
Unreal unravels delusions
Euphoria undeniable
Exquisitely unveiling
Unbeknownst subtleties
Until unlimited universe unfolds
Übermensch
