The universe grows aware of itself
through human eyes,
torn between wonder and horror
at all it has become
and created.

Burdened by the weight
of consciousness, it learns
to yearn for death,
to cease and return to
the bliss of the void
where it sees nothing at all.
Work in progress.

Suicide flows through our veins.
Written into our DNA, it is
our heritage, passed down
from our ancestors as a
taboo tradition only discussed
in secret.

I wonder, who was the first
to heed the premature call
of the void and
I wonder, who was the first
to witness this gruesome display
of humanity
and give it a name.

I am much too tired
to even dream
of putting paper to pen
again.

the reefs that I call home
will become nothing more
than barren graveyards
of memory.

is like being stuck
in an endless game of tag
where you are always "it."
At least, that's what it seems like to me.

is both sword
and shield.
Use it well.

I am the most honest,
and deceptive,
when I write.
