Took omeprazole
alongside oxycodone.
Won't do that again!

The little girl smiles.
It reminds me of a time
when I could feel joy.

Will you be with me?
No. You are not good enough.
Yes, I see that now :-(
Controversial use of a sad face here

Friends for fifteen years.
Thrown away in five minutes.
Why, then, don't I grieve?

What is the meaning
of all the world's suffering?
There is no meaning.

Saw my friend today.
All the good people suffer.
I can't make it stop.

Movie night cancelled.
I should've seen it coming.
Nowhere to be now.

Wash away the past,
it can be liberating.
But hold onto me.

Still need to show her
that I am ok with this.
Then all will be fine.

I was happier
than I'd been for a long time,
yet still I missed her.
I don't have so much time to write at the moment. Yet, as I've found it to be my best way of understanding myself, I've decided to write at least one haiku per day which encapsulates a particular emotion I felt during the day, in the hope of keeping track of my own mental state. So I thought - for the sake of science - why not document it publicly?

I'll be tagging all of them with 'Daily Haiku'. It may last a day or continue indefinitely.. who knows.
