I don't understand why I keep filling the void with the things that are supposed to make me happy but I'm just not.

How? Why?

I have every reason to be grateful.
I have everything I could probably ever need now but there's a void and I can't figure out what I'm so **** ******* sad about. So empty for.

I dive deep into my being, into my heart and mind and I can't find it.

The hunger that resides in me.

Is it human?

Is that why we are basically parasites on this planet?

Constantly taking but never giving.

Where the actual **** do I belong?

Where is my home?

Where do I go?

What should I do?

No one is here to tell me now.
No one is here to tell me how.
No one is ******* here.
I literally have no ******* idea what the **** I'm doing.

Rage.

Cynicism that seeps into the heart
And baby, my heart is drenched in black hatred.

Sulfur breath and poison kisses.
I'm your raging demon.

Don't try to get me to settle down
and make me your Mrs.

I'll never be of Love and Light
when I hate my ******* life.

I am never satisfied.

Yet you try to please.

I am uncontrollable pure white fire rage.

Existential dread has taken it's toll
and I have lost the last of my control.

I want War to wage.

Rot to ensue.

The world to burn down right along with me and you.

And I might obsess with total impending doom,
Cause it's better than being stuck in this ******* room.

I can no longer take being alive on this godforsaken planet.
Why make something, just to abandon it?

Don't try to soothe, don't try to caress.

I will ***** out the light within
And possess.

So if you want to keep your sovereignty
Then you better stay the **** away from me.
**** Everything.

My soul cried in agony.
In pure confusion she cried.

"Why can't you just love me?"
"Why can't you feel with me?"
"Why am I alone in this?"
"Why can't you find me?"
"Why can't you see me when I'm right here?"
"Why!?"

There she was, laying on her lover yet
Drenched in despair and pure heartbreak, bitter at her lack of understanding;
With the constant why's finally raining down on her in a flash flood downpour,
Reaching..
reaching with her entire being while being soaked in sorrow, hoping to God she can keep her head above the water and not get swept away by the tide,
  he whispered,

"I'm trying."

That's when the storm immediately stopped,
. . .
Muffled silence filled the air with peace in heart
As the sun finally peaked
Through the clouds.
Hope. Opening. Forgiveness. Healing.
Trust?

Sometimes there is planks and trinkets
Of her that wash up on the shores of my mind.

A collection from the deep sea.

From an abandoned shipwreck
I rowed away from long ago
To be spared the sight of her ghost.

Oh!
There she is!
I found you!

If I can't come closer
Then I'll stay still.
Hope to God
I don't have to watch you fly away
But if you do,
I will.
I'll always await your return.
I'm just a bird watcher and
You,
The rare bird.

I might dislike the distance but
I like you just as you are
And if I can't come closer,
I'll love you from afar.

Oh, how I miss you,
Like flowers miss the sun.

The way the leaves on the branches
Miss the kiss
Of the cool breeze.

Hold me delicately,
Like the soft, leather petals
You caress between your fingertips,
And slip me in between the pages
Of your favorite love story
To keep me
Forever.

In love, I wonder,
Is it the grandest of gestures
Or the greatest sacrifices
That wins the heart?

Sometimes I'll tug my pinky
Almost in a puppeteer fashion
Imagining that on the other end
Of the string of fate
It's making your finger tap to the beat
Of our soul song.
Red string of fate.

You’d have better luck storing rain in your mouth
Steadying quiet clouds with your eyes
Alive

Mere perfection doesn’t exist I see
No
And the cake is a lie

It’s the desire to interject
And infuse
Which I push against

Yourself insinuating from which I hide

This look says me
Let me feel my feelings felt
Or else there is no point left alive
A name would be too personal here. But I will say that there was once a time, when my intuition was very right about something. And in that moment, I felt awful about life. Because I knew what was happening, and yet the other person, who was supposed to reassure me of such, only furthered the deception and tried to comfort me with kindness, not truth. Which is something, to me, that is super personal. Don't forcibly stop my feelings felt, unless you have a **** good reason for doing so.

Just Let Me Feel My Feelings Sometimes. That to me, is humanity.
