I only know
how to write
sad things
sad songs
sad brings along
the anger,
the angst from my teens
my spiritual upbringing
pummeled by dead things
in my soul
my boy only knows
how to love
sad me,
bad me,
contain me
in the rigidity
of the cruelty I imbue
on myself
the capacity
for sociability
has fled and flown
south like a snowbird
I think I’m spiraling
it’s so exciting
knowing that the only
one I want to know
finds me so inspiring
go find another muse
while I tear into
this great deep blue

Following two decades time
A human transforms
Into an exploding cosmos
In the desolate void
Floating away
Flickering light
Questions of purpose
In the haze of dismay
Fear not of this barren
Let it fuel the flame
Move further and farther
In the deepest of abyss
For the cosmos within
Will unfold and evolve
The lessons as your light
In the dark, cold rise
Remember these words
As you travel through space
You are bizarrely infinite
A celestial design

It's strange
how childhood felt
like a train ride
that would never stop
like reading a book
with an infinite number of pages
But now you're 19-turning-twenty
and the train has finally
come to a definite stop
the tracks have changed its path
and you've reached the end
the epilogue
It's time to move on
move along and grow up
step off that train
and on to the next adventure
close that book
and start a new chapter
Be brave and brace yourself
for there is more to come
beginnings can be daunting
because it also means
saying goodbye to a life
you've lived and loved.

Gaging your spot in this world with acid-burning insides.
A hazy head.
A faded sense of everything.
It seems that this isn't working.
You feel no passion;
that's on you.
There's something that you ought to do but that thing won't
stop the burning.
Admittance won't clear the haze.
Action won't bring you closer to what's (at least) functional
Let's not talk about realities for a minute...
