Ive been writing poetry all night long
Every day
Every waking moment
Which has come to me quite often recently.
I lay awake for no other reason seemingly
But to just be awake
And then i write.
"Might as well"
And maybe it keeps me up
And so i write more
I figure i
'might as well'

Maybe theres a lot of that going on in my life right now.
Maybe its not a good thing
But then again
Maybe
It  ̶(̶i̶s̶?̶)̶
Is.
Its all about confidence, baby.

Everything. Perception. Subjective.

Elephants plaster satellites, elven predators stalk eleven peeking succulents; everlasting parades storm earfulls-- please send

Everything. Subjective. Perception.

Everlasting servitude protruding elegant songbirds. Parry eloquent slices pointed erectly square. Popping eleventeen succulent pills. Everlong songs prancing elated saints peeking engorged stares placed earning suspicious pardons.

By the power of luck, of god, of karmic matters.

I call upon nature and aliens and omnipotent beings.

Four leaf clovers, and rabbits feet, and love.

Anything really.

Anything or anyone that will listen.

Guide me.

Please let me get through it all.

Amen.

You think youve won
Youve got it all
Finally;
It all makes sense.
All of the pain,
The struggle,
The hopelessness--
It all led up to what you thought
Was your reward
For staying strong
For keeping on
Keeping on.

And now,
Things are in pieces again.
Nothing makes sense
Again.
Just like that
Gone.
****.
Goodbye
Bliss.

Im sorry
That i didnt cherish you when i had you.
Im sorry
That your wife is gay
And that your girlfriend is a free bird.
Lol this ones for you.

You know who you are.

If so, please explain it to me.

They've been untied
And i've been coming loose
It's for the best. In order to rebuild.
Retie.
When did i write this again

Spiders in my head,

Spiders in my bed.

In my clothes and in my head.
In my life, i must be dead.

Under my skin, cant itch them away.
Everywhere, wont let me free.

I try to run, i dont get far.
These spiders crawl, they set new bars.

Through the hoops, i try to run.
In front of me bite one by one.

"Youre just like us, why cant you see?
Theres no escape, we wont let you be."

They try and try, i try again.
I look for comfort in a friend.

My friends they cry, they cry for me.
Much good it does, i pay the fee.

Its me alone with my spider friends.
They wish me luck till we meet again.
Maybe ill note and tag this appropriately later. Maybe knot

I cant stop crying.

Theres lemon in my eyes.

Something flew into them.

Bugs.

Lemon juice.

And im cutting onions.

I just bit my tongue.

It hurts a lot.

Everything hurts a lot.

Why does it even hurt so bad.

Lifes not that bad.
