Sense of Self
These critical
Self analyses
Hit different,
Now that
I'm more
Apathetic.

I'm a
Failure,
So *******
What.

So is everybody
Else.

Besides,
The **** do I
Care
About other
People.

I'm a
Hikikomori.

A world
Renunciate.

And,
If in my youth,
I was already
Ostracized,
Why try to fit in
Now?

I was born
Against
And now
I dance
In my
Delirium.

I am
Triumphantly
Pathetic.
It's
My
Life.

I lived
It.

I don't
Care
How it
Makes you
Uncomfortable.

I own
It,
With all
It's depressing
Moments.

Nothing
Remains the
Same.

For very
Long.
Never said
I was
A good person.

Never said
I was
Anything.

I just shrug
It
Off.

Wake up
Tomorrow
Make it,
Today.

Try not to
Get too
Carried away,
In fantasies.

Accept
Reality,
Defy expectations
And ***
To wherever
It is I'm
Goin.

Which is gone.

Bonding
The thing is,
There's always
Another girl,
And I forget the
Last one,
As soon
As I meet
Someone new.

I'd like
To say you
Meant something,
But I just,
Can't,
Name
Your face.
Truth
Is often
Mundane,
And normal.

You run marathons
In your head
Fantasizing reasons
For other
People
That don't exist.

Reflections of
Your
Own
Self.

I remember
When I realized
All of it,
Is a delusion.

She was beautiful,
And I wrote
Her
A beautiful story.

One which
Was wrong.

So,
I swore off
Pretty
Possibilities.
I hold this
Tiny flame
Close to my
Heart.

To burn it.

To wound it.

And,
I don't share it.

Unless,
It's too
Dark
To see.
Even the little
Bits
Of fame and notoriety
Are
Too much.

I'd like to
Withdrawal
Again
Into
Shakes
Fomication,
And,
Myself.

The way
I wrote it,
None of you
Will get me right.

And,
That's the point.

I am nothing
To
Myself.

And a whole
Bunch of
*******,
To you.
And,
It's like every
Moment
You're gone.

And out of
My reach.

I dunno
If I told you.

But I forgot
A lot.

We're our own
Fantasy and false self,
Anyway.

Truth is.

I became
Callous.

Stay gone
This time.

Please,
Spare me
The bother.
Everyone
Is so clean
These days.

Not even a stain
On their shirts
Or their souls.

Nothing
Well lived in,
Rugged
Ruddy
Faded with time.

And amidst the
Junkies,
Metheads,
And assorted
Other people.

I still stand
Out.

And,
They like to remind me
Of how strange
I
Really
Am.

Memories
You get used
To living
Past midnight
Talking in places
You aren't supposed
To be,
With people you might
Wanna
Forget.

I'm at
Odds
With reality.

I'm sitting there
On the highway
Drinking coffee
Til two am,
High,
With people
I just met,
Twenty years ago.

The rain is
Hitting the big
Plexiglass
Smudged
Window I'm looking
Out,
At the tracers
Of lights
Barrelling down
The Number 1.

But,
That world
Doesn't exist
Anymore.

Likely most of
Those people,
Are dead.
Overdosing
And
Living,
Is supposed
To be this
Congruence
Of complicated emotions.

It's not.

It's,
Unfortunately,
Waking up.
Never thought
I'd be,
Anything other
Than a
Useless
Drug addict.

But it turns
Out,
I'm alive.

That's somethin.
5d · 61
Truth Is
Everything
I've written
Has just,
Been.

A waste
Of time.

But it's alright,
Even if
I'm
Poorly worded.

It's still a means
Of expressing
What feelings,
I have left.

This is a coping
Mechanism,
Maladaptive
Moribund
Musings
Of a paralyzed
Mind.

Something
Nolan Bucsis Aug 3
What skill
Is there
In beauty?

What mastery
Do you need
To make the one thing
Everyone idolizes
Great?

None,
You just need
Signifiers.

A better test
Is to jump in
With something
No one asked for,
Or wanted.

And,
Succeed.

Even if it's a little bit.

But,
I've always been
A one starfish
Kinda guy.

Why I Write
Nolan Bucsis Aug 3
Words are
Always
Real consistent.

Unlike people,
My vagueries
Are intentional.

But,
It all comes from
Somewhere
Authentic.

If only
Hyperbolic.

Encouragement
Nolan Bucsis Aug 3
I used to
Try
To be something better,
Than whatever
It is
That I am.

But,
I could never be
Anything other
Than what
I was.

Flawed.

And,
I still am.

But, I ain't trying,
To be Jesus
No more.

I just accept
What I am
For who I am.

Flaws
And all.
Nolan Bucsis Aug 1
I don't write
For you,
Normal
Love obsessed
Average
People.

I write for the
Malcontent
Who could never
Really fit in.

The ones where
Life didn't get better,
It got worse.

Someone who
Can relate
To constant negativity.

And,
I find them,
I always find them.

We declare
A niggling doubt
That your positivity,
Is tenuous at best,
While we are consumed
By dark
Thoughts.

Traumatic
Life events.

A dismal dark
Alley way to be
Our bed.

Drugs
And
Violence.

Your problem
Is you wanna see a reflection
Of yourself in other people.

You are,
Entitled.

You are,
Fragile.

You are.
Annoying.

No one even asked
Your *******
Opinion
Or
Approval.

I am exclusive,
Rare,
And nothing
That's available
Or relatable.

Is valuable.
Nolan Bucsis Jul 31
Everyone dies
Their own death
And lives
Their own life.

The fantasy
You create
For mine,
Is delusional optimism.

I learned
To let go
When people's
Presence
Mattered to me.

Back when it hurt.

I learned to numb
My emotions
When my rage,
Exploded
My
Life.

The glimmer you
Had of who
You only thought
I was,
Is a you problem.

I can't even place your
Face.

Your
Electrical
Ghost is
Unknown.

Who are you to me?

Other than someone
I never see
Anymore.

You get obsessed
With other people
When the trauma
Rears it's
Intrusive thoughts.

I isolate.

I starve.

I control the twenty feet I can see.

Not all coping
Mechanisms
Are outbursts of
Passionate emotion.

No, never,
I intentionally killed
Them
All.

If I knew you
Where'd you go?

And, if I left you
There was probably a
Reason.

You left me alone
And with my own
Devices.

I found out
I didn't
Need you.

I don't
Need
Anyone.

The death of me doesn't
Even make me
Cry.

It's only natural
I think.

Love is a let down.

Fragility is weakness.

Shame,
Embarassment,
Desire,
Happiness,
Anxiety,
Decen­cy?

All burdens.

If anyone knows
The real me
It's probably
A projection
Or part of the
Poetry.
Nolan Bucsis Jul 31
And God made
Me a prophet
Troll.

And I said,
Who the **** asked you
If I wanted to be a ******* prophet
****!

And he laughed
Telling me I better obey
His command.

I said, ******* what?

I ain't doing ****.

God laughed again.

Replying,
Just do what you always do
**** the system.

I replied,
Well I was gonna do that
Anyway,
******* *****
Ruining my past times.

I amuse God.

Jeremiah
Nolan Bucsis Jul 31
To those
Blessed by God,
Truly sanctified by
The most high
It is a burden.

A punishment
Of positivity.

The problem
Is.

You don't choose
To be chosen
By God,
He,
Chooses
You.

And, the pious
Turn green with envy.

The holy aspirant
Denigrates the blessed
As though their auspices
Entitle them a relationship
With the divine.

You cannot
Volunteer to be
Selected.

And God is the judge,
Not us,
Not our aesthetic preferences
Not our rightly deserved
Rewards,
For doing the thing.

God is my comforter
Until He's not,
And I honestly hate the guy,
Prefer Satan.

Deserve?

No,
Punished.

Jeremiah 1:5-7

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

Hippy Shit
Nolan Bucsis Jul 28
I wanna get
High,
And,
Ramble about Gods
'N
Quantum physics.

Qubits
And
Kali.

I wanna bike on those
Southwest side
Wide streets,
And scream whatever
Song I'm listening to,
To the magpies
And the passing rich
White people.

I wanna hallucinate an
Entirely new
World,
And notice the trees,
Breathing to the rhythm
Of the pulsations in
My eyes.

I want prophecy and
Vision.

I want
Synethesia.

I want undulating
Sidewalks
A low creeping fear
And the world incongruantly
Flying towards
My face.

I wanna lose my mind
On drugs.

Here,
In my
Personal
Synaptic system
Asymmetrically firing
In no direction in particular.

Selfish Ontology
Nolan Bucsis Jul 25
What I think.
To me.
Is far more important.

The Beast Cackles
Nolan Bucsis Jul 25
Proverbs 8:7
“For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.”

I have made myself
Abominable.

And,
Curses do spout
Out my gibbering maw.

I am
Blasphemy.

I am
Hallucinated terror.

I am I.

And,
That's all
I can be.

I am
Caked in the ash,
Of a sacrificial animal.

Rubbed raw on
The rocks
In a fallow
Forgotten
Graveyard.

I am blood,
And,
Sinew,
And,
Sweat,
And,
Dis-ease.

Awful offal
Casting hate
From a dehydrated
Mind.

And they are
My auspices
And my penance.

I was once a beautiful
Possibility.

Now I am a
Suffering
Certainty.

Petty Crime
Nolan Bucsis Jul 21
They never turn
Off the lights
In city buckets.

There's always some
Drunk Indian calling on
Some high fat guy.

Both of them full
Of ****.

And the pigs,
Come round
Ever so
Often
As never at all.

I saw a guy drown
In his own puke
For two hours,
Cause they couldn't
Be assed,
To walk around.

I cant sleep in
The drunk tank,
Sometimes I'd freak out.

Flooded a cell once
Psychotic
On amphetamines and
Pure
Mental illness.

Am I emotionally attached
To these
Struggles of
Mine?

Nah, just a thing
That happens.

None of it meant
Much.

Just an inconvenience.
Jul 21 · 151
Everyone's Got One
Nolan Bucsis Jul 21
Sob stories,
Are best left
For
Black out drunks.

Or crying
In
The
Dark.

Night terrors
Of introspective
Dreams.

Not for,
Common,
Conversation.

Losing yourself
To an infinite
Melancholy,
Is properly done
Alone with
No one to hear.

But you,
And the universe's
Deafening
Indifference.
Jul 21 · 25
Avoidant Style
Nolan Bucsis Jul 21
We're all
Disposable
And,
Mostly interchangeable.

So,
Why get
Attached
To temporary fair
Weather friends.

Or some delusional
Obsession
With one person,
For a ****,
And a listening
Ear.
Nolan Bucsis Jul 21
I don't.

Enjoy
Life.

I endure it.
Like a penance.

Nothing good will
Come of it,
Because I won't
Let it.

Redemption is meaningless,
Salvation, a pipe dream,
I endure to spite
Everyone,
Who tells me
To smile,
You'd be handsome.

What does it matter
If honey attracts more flies.

I want hornets,
Drowning,
In gasoline.

Sentiment
Nolan Bucsis Jul 17
I am made
Of ****
****
Vinegar
Drugs,
And,
Bad intentions.

I am a
Scurrilous
Little
Scalawag.

Some kinda
Empty Threat
Thrown at the morning sun.

I
Resent
Other people.

Smothering me
With their
Existence.

I am

Amen
Nolan Bucsis Jul 15
I'm a
Car crash.

Mangled limbs
Strewn about
******,
Carnage.

I'm
Dying young.

Living on one
Half lung
Shot liver,
And more beer.

I'm
Drifing aimlessly.

Seeing carcasses on
The road of someones
Split second,
Ground down roadkill.

I'm
High perpetually.

Sunken in face
And, veins
Bleeding,
With my last shared needle.

I'm
A waste of time.

But,
I always manage
To persist,
In the muck of necessity.

A macabre love letter
From God,
Suffering builds character.

Rattlesnakes
Nolan Bucsis Jul 15
I'm a pit viper,
Hanging out,
Alone,
In my crevice,
So don't,

If you reach in.

And

Bit.

More painful
For
You.

Than me.
Jul 9 · 52
Patriotism
Nolan Bucsis Jul 9
I don't remember
Asking you for
Permission.

To be
Who
I
Am.

I asserted it
Decades ago,
When I had a
Life.

This is
America,
I got a
*******
Right.

Vernacular
Nolan Bucsis Jul 9
I am not
That person
You fantasize me
To be.

And,
It always happens
That one day-
I fall out of
The clear blue.

Right
Into left
Field.

My story
Is kinda pathetic.

I'm just some
Loser
From some
Bumfuck
Nowhere.

I love poetry
Though,
I cope with it.

I have
long before
You knew of me.

It's always depressing and
Dark.

I sir,
Am,
Depressing'n
Dark.

Fractured Identity
Nolan Bucsis Jul 9
It's not
That I am
Who I thought
I wasn't.

It's that I am
What you
Got wrong.

Nobody changed-
I evaporated
Your illusions.

Maya.

Your lies
About
Me.

Ode to Disgust
Nolan Bucsis Jul 7
I long for
The Winter Solstice-
Where around here,
There's eighteen hours
Of night.

Only to be ruined,
By morning's dawning
Light.

What you find-
Beautiful-
I find
Derivative
And easy.

No one did anything
Great,
Praising the sun-
And,
Beauty.

I only love things,
When your things,
Recede
Into my quiet moments,
Without you.
Nolan Bucsis Jul 7
Love?
No.

Silence
And
Avoidance.

Somewhere
Else-
Is always,
Better
Than where-
I am.
Nolan Bucsis Jul 7
I am not
Agreeable.

I am not
Friendly.

I am a
*******
*****.
Nolan Bucsis Jul 7
I never wonder
About other people
Any more.

It's all a fantasy,
A maladaptive coping mechanism,
And the you
I make in my head
Is more interesting,
Than who you are.

So,
I stopped,
Getting interested
In other humans
Because of a pretty
Face.

You're all so
Mundane,
So,
Basic.

Someone else-
Is always,
A,
Disappointment.

And,
I'd rather be
Alone,
Free,
With my time.

The venom
Of
Scorpion,
Pierces through
My flesh
And,
Stings.

I am compelled
To
Dance in a mad
Scramble,
As the poison.

Takes hold.

My ego is about
To die.

Tripping on some divine
Archetype,
Of change-
Transformation,
Tinged with the death
Of self.

Truthfully
Nolan Bucsis Jul 1
I am enshrouded

Self Reflective
Nolan Bucsis Jul 1
I have
become
Something imploding.

Something pathetic,
Wrapped up in my
Personal
Iconoclasm of apophenia-
Seeing signs
That make no
Sense-
Except
In an ambiguous way,
With something you might.

Have.

Thought.

Just a passing figment,
Of my imagination.

Some kinda abstraction,
Rotating in
My.

Mind,
It's quite broken,
I assure you.

And,
You wouldn't be the first
To
Get
Confused.

Tangential Nothings
Nolan Bucsis Jul 1
Somewhere across the
Noise.

Someone died
And I was glad-
it-
Wasn't
Me.

I have shallow
Empathy
And don't mourn
My losses.

They lived
Longer
Than I ever
Wanted
To.

Still. I
Persist
In this miserable
Monotony.

Lucky,
Epistemic luck,
I don't think
I know you?

Banal
Nolan Bucsis Jun 29
Every morning
I wake up,
Against my will.

This too shall pass
Into
Another catastrophe,
And,
It doesn't give me solace
Anymore.

All these antediluvian
Anecdotal adages,
Bring me back,
To a false life,
And you.

Each little in joke,
Every single offence
I had to give.

Doesn't break me like it
Used to.

Maybe after
I get some coffee,
Chain-smoke through my free time.

And,
Work.

I'll feel better.

Honesty

Nothing,
But hate.
Now.

For everyone.
Nolan Bucsis Jun 22
The matter said to the math,
I change,
and so do you.

As the ego said to the spirit,
My will shapes your tint,
I control,
You obey.

Anatman?
No self?

No,
Self,
Is supreme.

Nix,
The demon buddha,
Of Naraka.

When the Assura,
Ascended over virtue,
By virtue,
Of existing.

Reality is not light and transcendent,
It is vile ugly truth,
I am I?

Well,
Certainly not me.
Nolan Bucsis Jun 22
Revelation 12:3
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.”

Behemoth,
Leviathan,
Lucifer *** Satan,
Carpe diem.

Truth bearer of unknown
Rites.

Whispered in the minds,
Of the diseased and disordered,
Rabble.

Shine your infernal light eternal,
Blot out the holy light,
Mahaseraphim.

We will regin in,
Eternal darkness,
With only Lucifer to guide us.

Say Tan
Nolan Bucsis Jun 22
I am the blackened
Ashen goat,
Of a black mass.

Triumph of will
And,
Hate.

Churned by a carnal charnel house,
Of blood
And meaty pieces,
Of flesh.

I am the aftermath,
Of an aborted anathema.

Anachronistic,
Iconoclastic,
Filth,
And,
I grovel-
In my disorder.

A barren desolate beast,
Of all nations.

I am the sin eater.

Death of Jacob,
I am Esau.

Undomesticated man,
The bearer of dark,
Light.

The feral fornication,
Of the fauna.

I am a plant that eats life.

Numbers 28:22
“And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.”
