do you ever think that
in a deck of cards, when we’re
using them that the sixes miss their
fellow sixes and their neighbours the
sevens and fives.
when we first unleash them from their
structure that their world could
just unravel?

or maybe, it feels like running into
some old friends.
i haven’t seen ace in years
jack’s got it figured out,
good for them.
like a highschool reunion
that doesn’t end.

i don’t believe in bad bets
we are just playing cards.
if you ever need a friend you know where to find me

ever so agonizingly,
i whisper to the void
to ****** a single wish—
that is, to submit to being full...

raw fear

i'm frozen
stuck in a trance that i can't get out of
what's going on
why can't i move
i see something
from the corner of my eye
lurking
stalking
what is it
please help me
release me from this solid state
i'm terrified
it's getting closer
they're right next to me
i can't see their face
their evil is radiating in waves
i can move my head
i can finally see their face
only to see that
it's me
i'm frozen in fear of myself
I'm Evil

there's a world inside your mind
and it wants you to find
a place for others,
without changing
the bookshelves
the music
or the way that you walk through the door.
It might be the means of replacing
the fear which stops you from living
and giving
and laughing
as yourself.
don't be afraid to open up
Cold
Knee deep in icy waters
Shivering
But surrounded by fire
Screaming
No way to help
Running
But no way out

— The End —
