Tom Morrissey Jul 2020
Created.

Disconnected.

Engaged.

There’s a shortcut through this maze,

And it’s not rage.

Shadows
Tom Morrissey Jun 2020
Is this place right?
Stay bright.
Remember, you are your choices
On this vast sphere
Remain clear.
Listen to all of the voices
There is no snuffing of fire with fire
But the peaceful will burn
Promote each other
Love can be learned
Jun 2020 · 93
Shine On
Tom Morrissey Jun 2020
You won’t see me leave
Back to the inevitable
For further deployment
I was an island
Beautiful
Untamed
Now give me a voice
We’ll make it bloom
Affixed to the truth of love
Bound to grow up in its embrace
To emit its wealth
We are capable
We can shine together
Feb 2020 · 69
Soon
Tom Morrissey Feb 2020
We hope for each other
We yearn to know each other
We simply want the best
So profoundly married to everyone’s whim
That it explodes within our chests
Desire mass harmoniousness
We’ll get there
Feb 2020 · 76
Wholeheartedly Yours
Tom Morrissey Feb 2020
Too scattered, are some.
I fall in with most
Palming my tired head
But then you give me hope
Chin up, and selfless
Most of all of the time
Bound to your ethics
Even with a tired mind
Not unnoticed
In fact, completely changed
You breathe life into me
Darling, you keep me sane
Love is ours
And we know it
It beautifully flowers
So let’s grow it
Feb 2020 · 68
An Observer
Tom Morrissey Feb 2020
Implored to be me
For I am the one who sees
The fingers stretched between our eyes,
Pointing.
Let us sit and close the curtain
Triumph in, with which you manifest

Today is the Best Day
Tom Morrissey Jan 2020
Thunderous is this life
As the calamity romps away
Lost, was I
Until my perception totally changed
I am free to be me
This, I see
I'll breathe in tranquility
I've seen your way
I know we stay
Bound in infinity

Tempered
My folly runs deep
As my scowl creates ill will
My intent is selfishness
Shouldn’t I provoke a smile?
Dec 2019 · 196
Flow
Tom Morrissey Dec 2019
Beautiful, bountiful, and bright
This is life
Still
As time goes running past
To nowhere that isn't here
Escaping to the depths of thought
Confused to ignore real time
Breathe with me
Let right now be illustrious
Exclaim this moment
And become current
Dec 2019 · 108
Am I seeing right?
Tom Morrissey Dec 2019
Movements against each other
Most of them
No one wins
Why would they?
We’re all relative to one another
Stop displacing aggravation
Step back
Breath
And look at how fantastic we all are

Participation Required
Tom Morrissey Oct 2019
Micromanaged messes
Trotting all around
Not focused on your breath
Which you’ll learn is so profound
Lift up your heads
See the world through you
Become mindful
And there’s nothing you can’t do

Scream
Tom Morrissey Sep 2019
Do you want help,
As you spit and sputter?
You moan and groan
Inhaling sympathy like butter
Stuck amok
We’ll consume your banter
Pat you on your back
Ignoring the fact of the matter
Do you want help?
Don’t just write it down
A tree that falls on deaf ears
Doesn’t make a sound
Sep 2019 · 489
You Can
Tom Morrissey Sep 2019
You’re a destroyer
You throw rocks for the splash
Complacent to the ripple
But you wouldn’t
Deep down you love
Everyone does
Fix yourself.
Go away and meditate

If You Care to Know
Tom Morrissey Sep 2019
What’s this all about?
Who are all of you?
Why do I care about you so much?
Why do I look at you with love?
I’m a child
Helplessly hopeless for a smile
We’re all strange.
Now what?
Except everyone
Some of us are ready

Creating questions?

Rectified
Tom Morrissey Sep 2019
Suicide comes to mind
The thought can dwell forever
“The metal plays across my skin
Like a violin
Letting all the blood poor out
So I won’t breathe again”
That was a part of me 10 years ago
What’s changed?
I’m understanding what thoughts are
Thoughts are shallow
They aren’t coming from somewhere deep inside
They traverse along indecision
To be jumbled and confused
Don’t dwell in thought
Act with the first good thought you have
And keep going
Don’t think too much
Sep 2019 · 456
Totality
Tom Morrissey Sep 2019
Do you want to know my mind?
It’s like…
Yours.
Described so easily to compare
Doesn’t the chaotic nature of thought provoke the understanding of each other?
No
The trickery runs deep
“Your mind is jumbled not like mine”
“I’m  especially different“
No
The make up is the same
The action is individual
And the consequence is universal
Sep 2019 · 107
You're Home
Tom Morrissey Sep 2019
Our outlook's changing
We’re eventually one in the same
So please enjoy what you’re doing
Without it bound in pain
Who else knows this truth?
Who wants to save the world?
We can shake them to wake them
Existence will unfurl
Aug 2019 · 109
Find Empathy
Tom Morrissey Aug 2019
We are all just extensions of oneself; split up to hide away, and to take in as many circumstances that are ever possible to exist.
Aug 2019 · 433
Is everyone in tears?
Tom Morrissey Aug 2019
I hear the whimpering
As the factions call us home
You too keep true to math
As you fall into your number
Begging to be apart of the equation
Fertilization
You exist
It’s everything you ever wanted
Please stop crying
Aug 2019 · 167
Craziness
Tom Morrissey Aug 2019
So many blurred eyes
The unwillingness to delve deeper, may just lead to the destruction of this world
(or a volcano)
But wait
There’s more
Like a stone being cast across an infinite lake
Maybe when I go to sleep
You'll get it
Aug 2019 · 81
Understand
Tom Morrissey Aug 2019
We're all broken

Stop trying so hard to become fixed

Just enjoy the life you have been complaining about

You choose everything,

Choose HAPPY!

In……..Out, Repeat.
Tom Morrissey Aug 2019
The abundance of availability is depressing
I am right now a white American male
With empty leisure
I sit
I contemplate everything
From
Who I want to be
To
Who or what am I really?
I sit a long time
I find that I’m lazy
Giving vegetative time to whatever
Not, not important
But
Not properly perceived…

…I should be basking

We ALL should

Who’s Life is it Anyway?
Tom Morrissey Jul 2019
My brother says “we're all just like that Plinko puck”
Just freefalling
Allowing every little bump to reroute us
To let us fall somewhere we wouldn’t expect
How exciting
We really are simple
Jul 2019 · 286
Simple
Tom Morrissey Jul 2019
I know that all the emotions that are rampaging in my head
Are just subtle responses triggered by this current perception
And that  “my head” doesn’t (beyond it’s own criteria) exist
We come from death
We go to life
There’s nothing you can do that’s wrong
Since the game is experience
And experience is what you have
You’re working
Try not to try so hard
May 2019 · 194
Frantically Fleeting
Tom Morrissey May 2019
I’ve been having a horrible go of things

And I’m feeling kind of stuck

I’m 29, I feel loved

But I can’t seem to give a ****

That care that I had for all of you

Gone

That love I wanted to share

Unimportant

Just a cataclysmic moment in my mind

From the turning off of emotion

I’m held bound to nothing

I want nothing

But perhaps the light to be snuffed
May 2019 · 167
Doing Fine
Tom Morrissey May 2019
We’re a stardust device
But mine seems to be broke
Confusion sets in
As I follow others who have woke
It almost happened I think
That moment when everything clicks
When we discover the answer
That life means  you exist
See, I’m almost there
Although “I” am getting in the way
Let’s drop this facade
Today, be apart of the day
Feb 2019 · 182
Starting to Stop
Tom Morrissey Feb 2019
Avoiding self deduction
Although I understand
I keep myself wrapped in repetition
Like swimming with tied hands
The chatter inflates ME
It’s difficult to calm it down
The roar of perception is deafening
When confusion’s the only sound
Idle am I
Dwelling just before
Where I can lose my ****
Or submit lotus on the floor
It’s overwhelming really
How close the two states are
Of wanting to make sense
And of wanting nothing more
Jan 2019 · 153
What We Are
Tom Morrissey Jan 2019
What We Are

Perception is the chaotic piston of the expanding universe

Thoughts coming and going because the energy needs somewhere to go

So we’re all individually selecting personalized outcomes from circumstance

Free temperamental will, I guess
Nov 2018 · 170
The Happening
Tom Morrissey Nov 2018
Self control
Acknowledgment of a self
And the urge for its chaos to be extinguished
But in everything there is chaos
And the self doesn’t exist
Self control is a concept against nature
I’d bet my cookies on simple awareness
Be aware of all the cravings this self wants
And extinguish them instead
Don’t control anything
Flow

Enjoy Your Decisions
Tom Morrissey Oct 2018
You don’t know do you?

You can’t find the answers to their questions

And you’re upset

Or completely impersonalized and you adhere to their *****

Why follow?

It’s all secondary

Sitting down and letting the workings work will show you

Be in your mind

Be in mine

And be free to make your own self

We’re all here for you

But you need to BE you
Oct 2018 · 108
The Way
Tom Morrissey Oct 2018
My grip of everything changes
I reposition my hands
Delving deeper into my mind
To collect what I can, with influence
I reset my perception
Altered now
The steady and swift encounter of thought
Our relationship is restyled
Urging for it to come and go in all of it’s abundance
Giving awareness a try
Sep 2018 · 100
Smile
Tom Morrissey Sep 2018
Break us down, It’s easy
Have you heard of the telomere effect?
Caps at the end of your chromosomes
They shrivel down with all types of stress
They get bigger with a smile
They hold in your health
So it’s again very simple
Do great things and gain this wealth
Let the thoughts wiz bye your peripheral
Sadness and anger all the same
There’s a holy grail in awareness
There’s death with guilt and shame
Create your existence
Be fantastic, and become unbound
Love everything around yourself
And spread that love around
Sep 2018 · 90
Let Us Run
Tom Morrissey Sep 2018
Contribute to my angst
Allow me to suffocate on thought
I can barely hold myself together
And then I worry about you a lot
Trying to determine my place
It’s hard, I’m sure you know
I’ve been delivering a smile to the world
But I’m afraid it’s lost it’s glow
I’m catapulting further
Unsure of where that is
For a moment I had clarity
And now it seems I never did
Is there truly no purpose?
Are we connected and blind?
Even if we’re eternal
What the **** is with the mind?
Why do I have to do this?
Succumb to the workings of the past
These laws are dipped in currency
And I’m done replacing time for cash
I don’t really care too much for answers
Despite not knowing a thing
You can keep your God, and scientists
You can keep just about anything
All I want is you now
Do you understand?
What is? Is not important
And the self selfishly withstands
I won’t imagine why we’re here
I won’t keep striding
All I want is to see you
From behind the wall your hiding
Sep 2018 · 197
The Structure of Chaos
Tom Morrissey Sep 2018
0


These symbols are true

As true as our journey between them

Like a light switch

Until the bulb extinguishes

On or off

Our energy is all woven together

Permanently forever

But as a whole we choose to accept this cosmic gift with a stern *******

As we still won’t except the unimportance of DNA’s geographical structure
Sep 2018 · 112
Shine
Tom Morrissey Sep 2018
Rapture finds us all
Don’t hide
Don’t tread carefully either
Stomp!
Exist
Create your memory
Do this for yourself
And hope towards everyone alike

Canopy
Tom Morrissey Sep 2018
Sit me above the trees
That’s where I want to be
Swaying
Breathing
There’s no other life for me
I want to be the top
I want to reach but never stop
Just stretching out indefinitely
Sep 2018 · 123
Enjoy Decision
Tom Morrissey Sep 2018
Gargantuan existence
You are not a loan
Stop letting them take
It could be yours to own
Tiny little blip
We’re all leaves on a tree
But it looks like disconnection
Like the grains of a dune sea
Stop the false of sense
Chasing up to the clouds
When you reach a destination
Satisfaction locks you down
Groan for importance
Aspire for more
Let them all grovel
And drool upon the floor
Become apart of the process
Stop orchestrating its lies
You’ve been going to the movies
When the greatest show’s behind your eyes
Aug 2018 · 95
Happiness
Tom Morrissey Aug 2018
So hopelessly hopeful
But the gears in my cheeks need oil
Give light to me
Everyone
Be the world
Anticipate joy
Hear kindness
Fill your infinite heart
Breathe
We’re together
Everyone
Find happiness
Love this emotion
Free
Aug 2018 · 88
Energy Matters
Tom Morrissey Aug 2018
Momentous experiencers
Choose what you will
As the infinite finds you
But remains equally still
Make ripples that multiply
Cast boulders, and small stones
Create the beauty of your existence
Make happiness your home
Don’t dwell in repetition
Hold your heads up high
Experience our connection to everything
Even the snarling hopefuls that trot bye
Consume understanding
Live for today
Help one another
Don’t be afraid
Tom Morrissey Aug 2018
Comfort in circumstance
Our role is not minut
A light’s behind our eyes
But our sight is not astute
Gratification in the typical
Of the over achieving self
Learn the profoundness of love
And let that be your wealth
Further your approach
Propel towards the sky
There’s a simple kind of existence
In the complexity of why
No more pounding in your chest
No more gambles
Did you ever ask why?
Why you have compassion? For example
That light is ours
A combined effort in infinite
That light is yours
You need only to abide by it

— The End —
