#pandoras - Hello Poetry

The eerie calmness in the air Called me foreward towards you, The distinct voice of my scruples, Holding me back. I should have stopped, I wished to stop, I didn't stop. Bringing the evil in the world In contrition I was left alone, The only thing I had, Was what I trapped, The sense of hope lying in the box.

Pandora's Box

The eerie calmness in the air Called me foreward towards you, The distinct voice of my scruples, Holding me back. I should have stopped, I wished to stop, I didn't stop. Bringing the evil in the world In contrition I was left alone, The only thing I had, Was what I trapped, The sense of hope lying in the box.

Saw it unfold before my very eyes But it happened too quickly for me to wrap my life back up into the neat little box it was packed in

The zeros and ones, all the zeros and ones It is time to dive in to some binary fun Just the zeros and ones, all the zeros and ones We're not ready for this But too late It's begun... In this game that we play There's no way can be won And no doubt that someday All mankind is outdone But "no way" they will say "Just relax and have fun" 'Cause there's always a way Not the absolute 'none' Good luck never can stay Of the minimum one An anomaly may Find a way to outrun All the safeguards in place What you spin is now spun This new enemy faced Can't be beat with a gun Giving birth to a race Artificially one That's not from outer space People smart are now dumb We can't keep up the pace So we will be outrun Relegated to slaves Or perhaps we're just "done" Nothing more than a waste Have a purpose that's 'none' Masses taking up space Can not hide or outrun Destined to be erased Yet somehow we're still stunned Ending the human race For A.I. has now won

Those who know me, have read the words I've written in black ink and can physically see me Have told me Though my writing is depressing And my suicidal thoughts obsessing Have mentioned that glimmer of hope that hides behind my demons screeching inside I feel like Pandora at times While darkness reigns the depths of my mind, There's Hope Trapped within. I'm letting go of that hope. There's nothing for me, No future, No dreams, No possibilities, Absolutely Nothing. Because I'm nothing and the only thing that will fulfill me is the fact that one day I'll stop breathing.

Pandora would be proud.

Those who know me, have read the words I've written in black ink and can physically see me Have told me Though my writing is depressing And my suicidal thoughts obsessing Have mentioned that glimmer of hope that hides behind my demons screeching inside I feel like Pandora at times While darkness reigns the depths of my mind, There's Hope Trapped within. I'm letting go of that hope. There's nothing for me, No future, No dreams, No possibilities, Absolutely Nothing. Because I'm nothing and the only thing that will fulfill me is the fact that one day I'll stop breathing.

To the depths I went Always brand in fist To find what made these paths I thought I freely trod What illusions waited there To upturn the ship of tranquillity What machine within worked To hide the shadows What lies came in dreams To veil the truth And the soul’s guardian, to protect me Stayed loyal to false master When it should to my ambition alone cleave And my song venerate An ocean lays at my heart It is still or stormy Of its own wild freedom But now I can sail it For I am bound To the friends of true depth Who understand what I truly am The illusions in me, games of the mind Shocked for years, shaken in fear Of harsh words, of the street, of night The evidence now piles against it. I have earned my honours In the heart of the woods And was always of bliss And was always of bliss Gentleness is I, peace is I Merriness is I, truthseeker am I.

This heart beats a miserable mythos Daring death to bleed from my pried pithos And you can still feel her aura When the all-giving Pandora Pulled out my chest and asked How much of man is masked Passed her teary eyed mist She found this box with a list Sand, clean, prep, and paint This home with no complaint Take care to love each other Both your brothers and your mother I am alone, so alone In this prison of a home Leave this layer to never dry Just listen to my goodbye Don’t look for blame From an open flame Left beside this pound of paint Hoping to incinerate this taint This is the end For me my friend Respect my choice And please rejoice Life is a wonderful adventure Some, missing that sweet splendor A burning ready for the blow To put me out, to let me go Despite all the talks, all the locks She’s opened up Pandora’s Box And let his evils out Fear, shame, sorrow, and doubt Their freedom found, they’re unconfined Exposed a weakened man’s mind No sun should have to see this depravity Hidden captive in his heart’s dark cavity

You are just Pandora's box Something I stumbled upon Something I kept for too long I wondered what I could get out of you I thought I wanted to open you up and see what treasures you have to offer, my hopes shouldn't have been so high

Take me where this fear and loathing within me are quenched. I do not know why my heart has ceased to persist. I do not know why my aim has become so directionless. I have nowhere to go No one to see. Sometimes I wish you were next to me. Until I remember the times I held my tongue so long I forgot how to release the words in my head into the dead air. I do know why I cannot speak now. I do know why My lips refused to part for either words or kisses in those final days. I took all the words I ever meant to say and locked them up tight for fear that releasing them would open a Pandora's box of struggle. I do not know why words have such power to throw away a love so repeated. I do not know why you didn't choose to gather up my words and hand hope back to me that you would come back and stay.

Somewhere in between ignorance and bliss

Take me where this fear and loathing within me are quenched. I do not know why my heart has ceased to persist. I do not know why my aim has become so directionless. I have nowhere to go No one to see. Sometimes I wish you were next to me. Until I remember the times I held my tongue so long I forgot how to release the words in my head into the dead air. I do know why I cannot speak now. I do know why My lips refused to part for either words or kisses in those final days. I took all the words I ever meant to say and locked them up tight for fear that releasing them would open a Pandora's box of struggle. I do not know why words have such power to throw away a love so repeated. I do not know why you didn't choose to gather up my words and hand hope back to me that you would come back and stay.

You know I keep it caged, Deep inside me. I always did so well, At keeping it quiet. Nobody ever had to know, About this monstrosity, Right beneath the surface. I keep my face straight. Not a smile or a cry. I'm constantly reminded, To keep it well inside. I always did so well too, Till the night I lost control. The monster from inside, My own Pandora's box. The monster's not inside, Will never sleep again. This monster on the inside, Called emotion.

I think we all know of a person who has left us; a friend's friend, a best friend, a relative three countries away, a neighbour two houses down. These are the people who opened Pandora's Box and watched Hope take flight in their black and white world, bleached colors running away into the last sunset they'll ever see in our Hopeless world.
