That day i woke up
and felt like shattering
in the vastness of the universe.
That day i slept
and felt like losing my existence
in the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (name of a beautiful movie).
That day i ate
and felt like dying by that venom
in the never ending anxiety of my heart.
That day i ran
and felt the distance unceasing
in the infinity of my laziness.
That day i loved
and felt like disappearing a little more
in the ridiculousness of fate
so thin
so fragile
like a drying rose petal.
up, down, drop, and roll
weigh your life and take control
let God be your guide.
a haiku from my book ABCs of LIFE

the world will sell you something fake
and its lies will seem real
if you want to believe

white lies are simply just the truth refracted
in order to keep us pushing
its warm embrace feels safe
but like a lying mother
its tight grip is suffocating

her warmth revealing itself
as radiation rather than devotion
activating the cancers within us
just to **** what she was meant to take care of

So many acquaintances on social media,
But no friends in reality.
All alone in this world.

I check my phone to see zero messages,
No one checking up on me,
No one wishing me "Merry Christmas."
Everyone enjoying in their own world, be it with blood or be it friends.

Loneliness is the only thing that I'm surrounded with.

I'm all alone.

All alone in this world.

Always forlorn.

No one knows me; no one cares about me.

I'm just a lonely person with a phone in hand crying over pointless things.

Yes, I lied to myself,
I lied that I am strong
I can bear any problem.
I lied that I am brave
I will fight in every circumstances.
I behaved like a sympathetic to me only.
I lied that everyone loves me
I lied that I am important.
Even I lied that I exist!
I lied to myself

would you love me
if you lived inside of me
because i hate it here
you’ll never see me
i used to hide
in fragments of myself
often i want to hold back
sometimes i think it’s the only way
to keep you from leaving one day

if so,
we’ll always have may

look up at space
the blank void
of everything
larger than any of you and i
leads us to realize
that everything slips away eventually
blank and black voids reside within you and i
only can we unlock what’s true
once we depart
mark soltero Dec 2020
never look down
it’s weak
never miss what’s lost
it’ll never be found
move forward
be your own god
give thanks to the lord
because his reflection is yours
you’re your own creator
this is your world now
