The web,
unraveling.

The focus,
flickering.

The world spins,
on a different axis.

LAN literally dying,
but the riffs?—
thriving.

After a long Eid break, with Bad Omens’ The Death of Peace of Mind streaming fast on my Spotify — a strange symbol of freedom and chastity after the holy month.

After
umpteenth
power naps;
2-hour drive—
gradually dissolved
into 5 hour of fleeting
microsleeps.

Driver
duty
/
duly.

Yours
truly.

Rooted in resilience—
but true strength also lies
in empowering others
and growing from;
criticism.

Embrace
constructive
dismiss the -ve—
for growth thrives
where wisdom
is definitive.

Sink
or
swim;
you decide,
captain.

You
next to me,
and I could smell
your musky
perfume,
your skin
infused with
pheromone.

On-again,
off-again.

This feeling
relapsing.

Sick
and—tired.

****(ed)
and—fried.

Tested,
and
tried.

Inspired from a person’s feeling of being (ab)used feat Sneaker Pimps’ Spin Spin Sugar as the background track to this.

He’s not
meant
for
      this,
for
      that,

                      ­         for you.

Instead,
he’s meant
       for
      that,
for
      this,

      but
                  not
                                     for you.

If he
wanted to,
then he ****
would.

****
—would've
done
            it
                 ­ for
                            her.

When your thoughts, hit you hard, that your words become crumbled.

You know,
that feeling
when you like a person—
and the person likes you back?

Blissfully
coincidentally.

You know,
this feeling
when a person likes you
and you somehow,
like them back?

Ignorantly
conveniently.

Reciprocally;
reproachable.

🪞
Reflection on mutual vs. circumstantial reciprocation between two people, which is often conditional on one’s self(ish)-interest.
