Quintessence
Diego Jul 2015
Fear fuel my courage
Pain satisfy my thirst
Ignorance foster my wisdom
Worry nourish my repose

Hate nurture my love
Dysfunction furnish my direction
Failure bolster my success
Brokenness emancipate my soul

The agreement with my heart
The strength to turn anguish to strength
The desire to find light from darkness
The Quintessence of hope

Just kill yourself
Diego Feb 2015
Work from 9 to 5
and die when you're supposed to
at 75

Some suicides are not recorded

happiness is a warm gun
Diego Apr 2016
the day is warm
but my heart is cold
oh just how fast
the story unfold

when did it happen?
what did i miss?
its just like yesterday
everything was bliss

the night is warm
but my heart is cold
stacks and stacks
of feelings untold

just shoot me, darling
i haven't smiled for a while
my heart is worn
better get the gun warm

Think
Diego Apr 2016
Open your mind and think..
Don't allow our inherent dysfunctions to create disconnections
Cant you see?
Just like you and me
We are the victims of our Fathers; and so are they
The long line of social inculcation - when did this start?

For centuries we made believe that we are the greatest of all species
Unique, intelligent and special in its own way
We have forgotten
We have lost the idea that we are all humans
Sharing the same planet with everybody else

We have let greed stain our minds
Our wisdom - tainted with desires
Bernays knew it, ****** knew, Gandhi knew
Some used this advance to manipulate
and some to emancipate

So think!
Don't let your desire father your manipulation
Don't let your ignorance nurture your fear
Think...
That's what made you special
That's what made you human
You have a mind which may not understand everything - which it should be
But think. Explore

Our world is as broken as it is
But it will heal
I may not live to see it
But I have lived a life with the idea to change it
Imagine. Some people still do..

11AM crisis
Diego Oct 2017
my mind is floating
why am i here?
i shouldn't be here..
this isn't my calling
im wasting away..

if i leave - i starve
if i stay - i rot

which is better?
this life is a prison

nevermind

Smile
Diego Apr 2018
I have all the reasons to smile
but still I frown
My knees are weak
and I can't even speak

My mind is tired
and my heart is withered
This whole life
is getting hard to consider

— The End —
