curiosity ...

involves a will
to question
a facility not needed
when you have blind faith
in shock jocks who compellingly
save you the trouble
there is power in persuasion
a voice with sonorous conviction
that corrals you into what to think
burrows into a small mind
like a god-voiced ear wig
quelling the notion
you are not so sure?
Pauline has the courage
to say what
you are thinking
or the audacity
to fill an empty vessel
that had nothing
but a nascent fear
that blissful ignorance
was under attack
so gather with the herd
know you are not alone
the mediocrity shepherds
will reassure you
that you are all together
it’s them that are different
it’s them who are hatefully wrong

If we lived forever, maybe we'd have time to understand things. But as it is, I think the best we can do is try to open our eyes and appreciate how strange and brief all of this is.

Why doesn’t my heart seem to understand?
Why can’t I breathe even with lungs?

Many people notice how hard I fight.
Yet many make it worse.

Will this hurt last for eternity?
Will my pain become my only reality?
thoughts after a Bio exam. it’s kinda morbid.

Can nothing ask
Why it is there
If it’s nothing in the first place?

Am I
Flying or
Am I
Just
A cloud?
Are you flying or am I just a cloud?

maybe you once asked me:
"how are you?"
but
did you really mean it?
was it ever a genuine curiosity
or
was it just a meaningless question to avoid the oddity
of inane awkward silences?
maybe
it was just an appropriate thing for you to say at the moment
and it led me on to think
that you'll be there for me when i need it.
but at the end,
you were never
there.

SO

the next time you ask me:
"how are you?"
and i say:
"i'm okay"
and if you genuinely cared at all,
would you have noticed the silent screams in my eyes
that hold back the tears saying
i need you?
This is dedicated to a friend who once told me that she questions if her friends are genuine enough to be there for her when she needs them. Because honestly, I can relate.

curiosity is like the color of the sun,
mysterious whispers between children.
the flavor of a beanboozle jelly bean,
the scent of foreign food wafting through the air.
walking through the thick, unknown fog,
excitement running through the mind.

It
It can be something, that I know,
it can be something that I remember.
For ages and for years, it's remain hidden.
So, how can I? Now? I can't do it.
Telling it would mean a revealing,
not doing it, would **** me.
How can I be so sure of that?
Tell me, I want to know!
How can I be at risk of my own,
when I am the sole saviour of myself?
The self is an illusion,
and existence can't be a guarantee.
To be or not to be, is a thought.
It can only be a keyhole.
The keyhole of my world,
to that one, of it.
This is merely a question for me.
But the answer would bring havoc to all.
I can't be so sure, if only I can be,
myself and reveal my inside to it.
It is that one thing that I shall be fearing,
and now making me die a little, inch by inch.
Existence was never a guarantee here,
so I am going without delivering an answer.
It would atleast, not make the rest suffer.
I am now the gateway, to that world.
It's coming right in front  of me.
The keyhole was never a doubt.
It's the world that I had not seen before.
It's the escaping, that I meant to have.

Curiosity killed the cat,
But maybe it wanted to die.

The eyes are threads of rivers
flown rapidly through skies

The mind, a straying cricket
sailing leaf-bound as it cries
Curiosity in never question but rather instinct
