the world spins so fast
that i'm afraid to blink
in case i lose my footing
and fall away to the end of the universe
without you.
just a quick write

I need a win.
Just to feel like I'm not scrabbling.
Just to feel like I'm not being dragged by undercurrents,
knees and palms ****** as they scraped against the sand.

I need a win
Just to feel like when I open my mouth,
something comes out,
something that resembles my voice, and not
flies rattling around my ribcage.

I need a win,
Just to feel like my mind isn't imploding on itself,
full Big Brother, each whisper a shout,
each sigh a taunt,
each silence deafening.

I need a win,
Just to feel like my lips aren't sealed
with duct tape and industrial glue,
like I'm not being thrown into the river,
hands tied to my back,
pockets filled with rocks
and lungs full of blood,
because even in drowning
I can't get it right the first time.

I need a win,
because I've been on such a long-running losing streak
That I feel like I should get a **** Guinness world record
For 'most pathetic'.

I need a win,
because every time I stumble,
the pavement seems to be more forgiving.

I need a win,
because otherwise,
losing becomes normal.

Life is a constant battle,
And I sometimes think
that, at this point,
it may very well be my last.

You're tired.
The skies have turned red.
The rivers have started flowing.
The seasons have changed.

Its ok to do things for yourself.
To be wanted, its a desire,
To fulfill it is a need.
But this Robin has your back.

If I could live on your shoulder to make sure you're fine.
To make sure you're safe and feeling as you should.
I would stay there.
You're a gem! If only you were my gem


Don't let anyone or yourself put you down.
Don't let anyone fake away your throne.
Cry if you have to...
Let go. Don't lose yourself.

Am I losing my strength?
                   Or
Are they getting stronger?
Or maybe both.

Obliged enlightenment is a candle task,
or a sun task
and so on.

The light I act as if I see dawning into
Nova now,
may be
a super new now, and then, it's history
someone said
we
could have seen, had we been there.

War is not inevitable,
war demands hate, hate is weak.
In children,
hatred must be cultivated
now that the rich
bounty of spaceship earth's
biosphere recovery algorithm has kicked in.

Any kid knows it is a small world.
After all and
we all do live under one sky and taste one
sweet water drawn to the salt
given us from the earth.

Except for the lemmings,
Disneyfication has increased world
knowledge,
the locked down known stuff we all agree
can be known
samesame to us all. Like

We all breathe the same air.
We all know the greedy are not grateful to the slave.
Wait
Did not Jesus say…
Could be

we don't truly know, but we let be true
a story words have linked to knowable
knowns
since I knew to take the good and re
fuse the evil,

from eating butter and honey, as is common
these days when
the religation to truth obligates light to shine like
The OPN1LW gene obligates you to see blue,
and equate it with the frequency of light bouncing
around the world
from the water and air keeping us alive.

Alone
In solitude
I am rediscovered
And now I need to lose myself
Again

To be human
is to love and to lose

You told me
《we are a forever》.
I wonder
how many forever are there,
'cause let me tell you,
I see none.
Whenever I miss you, I remember the fake forever we had. What happened to us?
