Untitled

Oh cursed soul,

that you be,

something I dont even believe,

In, but in pain filled ignorance,

I lack the eloquency to describe,

Even a little bit accurately,

This hateful being,

This lie of a perception, I cannot wake from,

A matrix, a coded line, I find myself,

Stuck in,

The suffering of a thousand lives and worlds,

Reaching out to you, reading this,

Lying, lying, as if the words mean,

Anything, anything, No!

Yet then, I always realize circling back,

To the histories invented by past selves,

hence, influencing who I am now,

the dark corners I look forward to in the future,

The lack of resposibility, The blissful youth,

Mixed with the pain of wisdom,

And the teachings and overview,

Of going off a cliff, only to jump back on,

And run off again,

Yet, then, again I find myself looking,

In my heart at the gun, the gun of release,

Oh that I dare say,

all humans should seek.

Crazy, crazy, John,

You are crazy you say,

Aye, aye, as all we are,

Sanity is insane,

Reason is,

2+2=4, Because.

I am the because. I am the order.

I am the chaos, that puts that electron there,

And your synapses connecting there,

Oh I'm the breath you take,

Before that **** and ***

You faked,

Little one, little one,

I am much older now in lives

Than years, I consume throwing myself away,

The self, the soul, the non existence,

Oh it is existing and it wont leave me,

And all this because,

I saw her kissing that man,

On the cheek.

Alas, that is the bane of every God and Demon,

Since nephlium, To love a human,

A mortal, the code in the matrix,

The variables for the x,

That turns your reason and logic,

Into guess work and soulbreak,

I drone on,

Where is the end,

That is the point! Dr. Seuess,

Take your money back, I know the places I will go,

Oh I've seen it now for a while, and boy do I fear,

The blank page, the unwritten line,

The truth that I've been trying to hide,

From who?

I've lived long enough.

I would like to die.
