The scent of creamy hot cocoa pervades, creeping up my nose. The childhood I never had, a warmth I’ve never known. The sound of the nocturnals humming a life worth living. I imagine I am one—foraging, longing. I inhale the smoke of burnt beans, the bitter taste of an existence unwanted. Empty expectations fill my lungs, a cold sky, a fantasy hillside. I exhale—half a hope vanishing as if it never was. I regret respiring an act just because. You choose, you privileged fool pick one from the lowly hopefuls! find your preference in the end But just once, make amends! See me: A fertile rice field, ripe for harvest. A single-colored pasture, silently sprouts. Yet too uniform to be noticed, too plain to stand out. Use your senses, you peculiar bull I'm crawling inside your skull! Haunting, pressing your mind, reaching those that unwind. RECOGNIZE ME, CONSIDER ME, SPLIT ME, DISENGAGE ME, CUT ME, SORT ME, ISOLATE ME, BOUND ME, KNEAD ME, WRING ME, DIGEST ME, INFURIATE ME THROW ME DOWN, PULL ME UP, DISCARD ME FOREVER. I'll be gone—like half a hope, evaporating as if it never was. It dissolves into mist, in the cold sky, a fantasy hillside. I'll return, as smoke from burnt beans. A ghost beside the rice field. The pasture with budding growth. A whisper lost in cocoa's warmth. The life I never had. The luxury you wasted, driving you mad.

Echoes of a Whisper of the Unseen Lost in the Void
The scent of creamy hot cocoa pervades, creeping up my nose. The childhood I never had, a warmth I’ve never known. The sound of the nocturnals humming a life worth living.
