day 2

I often watch the world tick by
as I scream from within my mind.
Buried underneath the weight of the world
is the shell of who I once was

every human grows up searching for one thing:
happiness
but not just that
no.
contentment.
that is what we all want in the world.
just to feel like the world makes sense,
for once.
this may be not up to par but in recent months I've experienced a lot of self-reflection and thought I should share nonetheless.

i don't know what i'm doing, honestly.
i struggle, truthfully.
i try my hardest, to be completely honest.
and i don't get anywhere.
that being said, trying doesn't equal nothing.
it equals hope.
and maybe something good in the future.
for now, i have to keep trying.
keep pushing.
keep living each day
until one day, finally,
i'm happy.
hello :)

Nonconsensual surrender
To a requirement of life.

We all require sleep but,
what does really it bring us?

We're lost in a world we can't understand
A world where we're oblivious to normalities
And where we can be free
A world of dreams.

The deepest reaches of our brain
are brought forward.
They come out, they tell us stories.
We're reminded of what things were like
Or how they could have been.

We dream of what we want,
our goals and aspirations.
But when we are delivered back into consciousness,
Are we really where we want to be?

I have so many words
crammed inside my head
words on words
no pattern
just words
a disjointed jumble.
As I shove them out
of my head
onto paper
more appear
faster than I can write.
My words
borrowed words
words of geniuses
words of drunks.
Someone once told me
words are powerful
if you know how to use them
but I don't
so I have no power
just a crowded head
filled with disjointed
words.
