I never existed. You know, I never did. It was all an elaborate illusion. I have been told to play. No, I had no intention of robbing you of your emotions or perception. I just wanted to find myself. I realised this so-called universe couldn’t provide me with meaning or perhaps it had none to offer, so I made up characters for every one of them I met, and yet I failed miserably to know myself. Fear of not understanding myself consumed me into nothingness.   “I'm tied to the rocking chair. I don't need to be ******* cared for. They said my dumb stars weren't aligned. Even those Scripted Zodiac stones won't get it right.”   Every time someone came along, I put up a new character, a charade to please their needs in the hope of finding myself, but I never did every single time I couldn't understand why What lines did I miss or the script didn't work? series of phobias bombarded my surroundings, making me speak gibberish. My half-baked memories aren’t mine; different personas tangled within one, saying love isn't our thing, hate, jealousy, why do you need such things? Emotions are a burden, a limitation on brains. For centuries, nut-sized cytomegaloviruses have argued over fictitious beings. I don't find sense in these trivial things. ©sarcasticbong   Either I can go to sleep or I accept myself as part of this illusion.

I NEVER EXISTED
Attempting capture. Rising days and setting nights. A subject too big.
