I

I am at an odd intersection

between smart and stupid

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

And it feels just about right.

Oh yeah.

CONTRADICTION

Jim Anthony Jul 2017

CONTRADICTION

I shake my head in patient discord
nevertheless, submission
when nothing is left to do you laugh,
smile in agony

Only in light she feels the absence of division

in cardboard walls we push and iron dams within wait as we collide, and drown
Rise and split. huff and puff. armor's off,
daggers drawn...

Closed for Business

Closed for Business

How can I ease my pain?

How can I find my way back again?

I can start with the basics.
I'll start by starting.

I'll start by showing up.

Showing up is half the task. Start. Just start.
Start. You're half done. Start. Just show up...
'Half-***' it. The other half is waiting for you.

now I must rest my eyes.
shut them Closed.

Trapped

Trapped

Oh my girl
Don't you see
Don't you see
Sometimes when I'm with you
I just like to be.

Oh now I know
You can't hold on to me.
Because I,

I
Want
To be
Free.

Spaceship Earth

Spaceship Earth

Sometimes I find myself back in that place.

There's nothing left but violence and hate.

I don't care anymore.

That's why I smile.
