nah, I don't think that for
a millisecond,
shoot,
not a ****** nanosecond (1)

truthfully
I'm torn up inside
and my thinking
absolutely
could be wrong
or could be right
absolutely

just like the optionality
of believing in god;
has to be some force
of intelligence that
could create such
microscopic complexity randomly
or just thinking the world
is just a series of accidentally
interactions

so
who's to say what's good,
what's not so good,
and by what standard
one should judge

Is this a poem?
Heck if I know

and what sbout the poems that
get not a one,
a single one, absence of curiosity,
an unheralded execution.
death by silent ignorance,
a master's mastery of exactitude
all because
just because

Is that a collective decision
by an unconscious collective,
the best moderne equivalent of
the unmarked death

of just a single one of
your billions of brain cells (2)(3)

all I know is
that my confusion is confirmed
my constancy is inconsistent
my equatorial balance is
gonzo, dragging me down,
each division wants to piece me up,
and today,
right now
got no answers
at all

how do I define myself?
what categories do I fit
within?

and yet
that answers one question!

do not write interrogatory inquisitions

(unless you're a DUMB lucky *******
who believes they got
answers
)
(1)
a nanosecond is significantly smaller than a millisecond. Specifically, there are one million (1,000,000) nanoseconds in a millisecond
(2)
A human brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons. Additionally, there are roughly the same number of non-neuronal cells called glia. In total, the human brain is estimated to have around 170 billion cells.
(3)
During brain development, many more neurons are produced than are ultimately needed. Around half of these neurons die off before and shortly after birth, according to Harvard Gazette(they probably just made it up)

Of a brewing silence
and buried emotions
we’ve built a house
walled with doubts
our interior decor
layered with rancour
Scattered ornaments
cloak our armaments
Oft engaged in aphonic wars
We rack up our scores in
crystal-clear jars

I think of you very often
of what could have been
if I hadn’t left back then
We had a great between
I think of how it all began
and how it had to end
You are the only has-been
that would have been
more than it had been
were we given
more than a min
I can only imagine!

You only care
when I lie, bare
on your bed
my legs spread
you shout, honey
I’ll make you happy
but we both know
all you want is a blow
until then you’ll pretend
that you care until the end

You've always been different from the rest
And that's why, to me, you'll always be the best

you came
you saw
and you left

i cried
i stayed
and i conquered
Zia Mar 2020
I walked away, weak
I looked ahead, bleak
I endured pain, strong
I thought of dying, wrong
I built over, alone
I started smiling, milestone
I laugh and live, selfish
I’m not looking back, you wish
Zia Mar 2020
You tease me
with fleeting kisses
You whisper in my ears
your dearest wishes
You profess to love
all my broken pieces
You keep saying
you’ll keep your promises
So why am I in tears
just like your ex misses?

We were audacious
But never ostentatious
He was definitely flirtatious
He explained, I was curvaceous
He couldn’t help but feel salacious
I was going to say, oh Lord Jesus
But I’m not religious
Besides, his kind of dangerous
was very contagious
I couldn’t help but feel rapacious
Zia Mar 2020
what more can I say
when I show you every day
there is no one but you
you better believe it boo
