A piece of **** feels like it’s on a roll when it’s in the toilet; as nothing questions where it is when it calls itself a fable— ...so that lover you complain about, "horsing around," was never meant to be stable; as we keep expecting balance from things only built to wobble. As they say a tree that falls alone makes no sound… but the man it falls on, screams loud enough to cancel that thought out. Right before adult swim felt fun— until I became the adult; took a deep dive, now I’m just trying not to drown. Like a girl who shaved her head after a heartbreak; her ex called it “a bold choice—” while loving someone new; for pain becomes a style once it’s no longer about you. Then a blind man was gifted a blindfold; so he’d never see it coming; the deaf man laughed when he “heard” the news; while a mute had everything to say— but life sat on his remote thoughts, pressed pause… and called it, "peace and quiet." I learned— life lands easier when you tilt it slightly; dark humour lets the light in sideways. Because sometimes, the only way not to lose yourself, is to laugh, even when you realize you’ve been robbed don’t rob yourself of a good laugh— even the man got robbed by his own shadow; now that’s dark!

Gruesome Illusion
[A fixer‑upper with peeling wallpaper, whispering pipes, and a security system that occasionally screams.] The agent said, “It’s a fixer‑upper.” Translation: the wallpaper peels in the shape of exit wounds, and the porch swing rocks like it’s keeping count. I asked about the neighbours. She said, “Mostly quiet.” The silence in the hallway nodded. In the kitchen, a teacup trembled. “Drafts,” she said. The draft spelled RUN in dust. Still, the price was right. And the ghosts? They offered to handle security – no one steals from a house that occasionally screams.

Viewing at Dusk
Время позднее, хочется спать, но желание дымить заставляет покинуть кровать - может, мои сны настолько ценные, что всё норовит их своровать? В темноте, стоя на перекрёстке дорог, до костей пропитанная холодным туманом, шаря поштучную сигарету и не найдя, ругаясь с дырявым карманом, я тащу своё тело, уже ощущаемое как полуфабрикатная туша, к трухлявому ларьку, в твой район: - Мне вон ту пачку с бесплодием, Катюша. Мне скоро исполнится больше, хотя я вообще не планировала доживать. Надо придумать, как объяснить себе - почему? - или заказать что-то пожевать? Меня тошнит оставаться с собой, съестной кусок не лезет в горло. Приди и посиди со мной. Ах, точно - хочешь, включим порно? Нарастающая романтизация грязи научит радоваться тому, что имеем. Болтая с гниющими наркоманами, за компанию уж точно не истлеем. Мозг начинает развиваться, ещё немного - и не выдержу, убегу в зависимость. Буду разглядывать тараканов на полу, признав в их танцах двусмысленность. Мне кажется, в них всё-таки присутствует какое-то подобие истинности, и с создателем нашего мира они находятся в недосягаемой близости. Со временем стала понимать, почему добросердечные бабушки топили котят. Утопите в ведре и меня - пока мою психику окончательно события не извратят. Стокгольмский синдром к реальности явно не доведёт до хорошего. Как минимум у многих появляется желание иметь усопшего. Поэтому сказала, что хочу кремацию: будет хотя бы весело наблюдать горящий вопрос в глазах некрофила: «А прах возможно ебать?» Отчаялась искать человека, который примет меня и моё мировоззрение. Почему у них даже милые истории из моей жизни вызывают отвращение? Зачем мне такой социум, в котором приходится закрывать рот? Я, значит, мерзкая - фу! - а сами закрывают глаза на эскорт. Что такого страшного в том, что я не имею постоянной единой моральности? У половины не предусмотрены правила телесной сакральности. Начну есть с бомжами из мусорки - так в вере своей я уж точно вознесусь. Не надо будет что-то доказывать, где захочу - там обсосусь. Я считаю глупо излишне хвалиться умом и своими талантами. Слишком сложно потом. Для начала научитесь пользоваться дезодорантами. Не люблю людей, которые слишком много тянут одеяло внимания на себя. Чувак за стенкой, ты крутой, но не ори так, партнёршу ебя. Слишком грустно слышать. Я, может, тоже своего рода «плохая девочка». Придётся обратно пытаться спать. О боже, помоги, атаракса-таблеточка.

step 1: cease contact. the people you enjoy talking to? cut. academics? cut. employment? cut. remember, don’t break skin, break communication! step 2. stop creating. creating is making you the emotional hurricane you are, so let it go! throw out the art supplies, don’t listen to music, don’t play your instruments, don’t draw, and especially…no writing when you’re emotional. you can’t immortalize yourself on paper. It defeats the purpose of the exercise. remember, don’t permanently erase yourself, erase your creativity! step 3. hygiene is out the door. do you shower every day? do you have a regular skincare routine? do you do your makeup? (uh oh, you left a little creativity behind!). you don’t do these things in the grave, so no doing while you’re here. but we’re going for that “zombie” look as opposed to a full on cadaver. remember, don’t throw yourself in the grave, try the trash can! step 4. get rid of clothes. clothes give you a sense of identity and we are striving to destroy that. this will help if you find yourself struggling with the previous steps. if you don’t have clothes, you can’t go out. if you take away clothes that represent yourself, you lose your will to be creative. without clothes, showering is sort of pointless because what are you going to do afterwards? wear ***** clothes? no no, that’s going to stand out as a warning sign and we’re trying to stay off the radar, not even under it. remember, don’t tear yourself open, tear those clothes apart! step 5. sleep as much as possible. you feel nothing when you sleep. it’s great to pair with step #1. if you’re asleep, you physically can’t contact people. it’s a solid way to be forgotten. if you don’t have the time to put in the effort, eventually people will stop putting in effort too. it’s not their job to chase you and, come on, who the hell wants to do that anyway? remember, don’t lie in that coffin, lie in your bed instead! with these 5 steps I can guarantee you will start to disappear. it has helped me tremendously! I feel better! my life is Better! the lives of the people I Love are Better! Everything is Easier! I’m more Stable than I’ve ever been! I Feel Nothing! I Don’t Feel Empty! I Don’t Feel Lost! I Don’t Regret It Everyday!!! right? it was the Right decision. please...tell me i made the right decision.

I don’t know stability My mind has been stressed Since before I was a teen I laugh at civility I don’t know how my dad never got a DUI The cold ***** in the front seat Disguised as water With two girls in a drive-by I’ve lived in 30 different homes My favorite is always the next one My mom has borderline personality disorder And I am the opposite of a hoarder I say I want peace but I crave chaos Please don’t tell me it’s from my childhood I’m sick of being ashamed of my faults I need a ******* seance

* I was thiknin' Why do I always need to reorder lists So that heavier, or worse things Follow the lesser ones, as in: "disappointment and tragedy" vs. "tragedy and disappointment" It's like—Disappointment?!  Pft, we have tragedy here, man! I wonder, would I have this proclivity If I were from another country Then I think Nah I'd be hangin' in that forest A haiku stapled to my tie *

Directionality
**Giggle, giggle—swallow beans, Wash the dishes, clean the bins. Mutton, fish, curry, and beef, Taunts, sarcasm, dreams but grief. Sush! The sound above decibels, Buzz and roar—what about tinnitus? Free, independent, no fear of inclusion, No one to assess—but what about seclusion? Sadly rich, with burger and fries, Oh, nobody to deal with—sighs! And there comes Peppa Pig and Panther, All by myself to deal with tamper. End of the day holds no meaning, Reality, delusion, facts, and healing

Nine Lives Later
A whisper of green, a delicate bloom, Hemlock's sweet scent, a perfumed tomb. Innocent petals, so fragile and white, Concealing a darkness, a final night. A bitter tang, on the tongue it lies, A chilling embrace, as the body sighs. Numbness creeps in, a slow, gentle freeze, The world fades away, on a chilling breeze. The limbs grow heavy, the senses grow dim, A quiet surrender, to fate's cruel whim. The heartbeats falter, a slowing drum, As darkness descends, and senses go numb. The mind still flickers, a fading light, Aware of the ending, the endless night. A philosophical question, a final jest, "I drank what?" he asks, putting fate to the test.
