"active" poems
That workaholic lady who's always on call, keeping up with the market fall. That newly married lady with chunky red bangles, returning to her father's big castles. That person who's scared to get lapse, so stays active on the google maps. That person who swings like a kid at the back door, Or the one who perform calisthenics on an empty floor. That next door girl with a red lipstick, flicking her shinny hair & gossiping with her clique, That dreamer gazing outside the window, That overworked soul dozing on his elbow. That 21st century kid, listening to Eminem & playing video games. Or That 90’s kid, listening to Jenga Boys & playing outdoor games. That banker with a big fat stomach, filled with his beautiful wife’s love. That lady who eats like a thief, in her big fat bag hiding a beef. That old man who can’t stand Bombay's winding turns. That granny spotting & criticing  every fashion trends. That man who has Raju Rastogi’s concerns, thinking & chanting for earns & returns. Those kids who believe their job is to fill the voids in a battlefield, in the still crowd surpassing like electrons into a magnetic field. That lady sitting under cold seat like a glacial, than standing with 7kgs in a crowded central, & tryna stay sane listening to George Michael. That geek who switchs from Linkedin to Arjun Reddy, when the masses flee into the scenery. That trader crunching numbers so rapidly, when the stock prices go down hourly. That person on the last seat, diagressing from work & gazing around, soaking in her pashmina, with a career newfound.

I am a miserable **** Traffic jam thoughts. Aimless speech. Fever dreams, coffee with no cream, love with no pulse, alone at restaurants,             at grocery stores,             at parties. I have no identity. Shifting shape, black to blue, trading girls, red hair for Persian skin, parents and gods, politicians and lost purpose mobs, all asking me to be sacred,                             to be loving,                             to be trusting,                             to be active,                             to have no spine. All I want is a bit of my own time. A grenade of change, to end the coagulation of my brain, to leave me hungry for anything other than me, didn't somebody say I was promised something?                                             I was going somewhere?                                             I was unique? I am the same miserable **** As every other miserable **** The ******* that cut you off on Highway 62, The person that complained about too many pickles, on his precious fast food, The boy yelling at his baby sister for getting too much attention, The girl sexting your boyfriend, The boy sexing your girlfriend, The generation divorcing everyone it knows so it can fall in love with itself. All different, in exactly the same way. Traffic jam thoughts. Traffic jam thoughts.                    Traffic jam thoughts. Traffic jam thoughts.             trafficjamthoughts. traffic. Traffic Jam Thoughts. Thoughts. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic.

I think sometimes, about what it means to be transgender. I probe and probe for answers, because as the possibility for a new age of enlightenment and safety increases, the others want to know. I’ve come up with many answers, but I can hold to none. I don’t deserve to paint the definition of a culture with the limited experiences I’ve had. I don’t see myself in the transgender identified people allowed on television. I don’t see myself in the transgender identified people making news feeds and giving high profile interviews. And as my nation’s exposure to our culture increases, likely will their curiosity. Am I transgender? Do I have the right? I’ve heard doctors, psychiatrists, may refuse transgender patients access to hormone therapy based on how dedicated or convincing their portrayal of their identified gender. If you want to be a man or woman, you’ll have to look like the women and men on TV. If you want to be transgender, you’ll have to look like the trans identified people on TV. Every single one of us who has an active role as either participant or observer in our society is prey to the crisis of validity. Am I pretty enough? Am I strong enough? Am I brave enough? Mom enough? Dad enough? Competitive enough? Successful enough? Rich enough? **** enough? Pious enough? It never ends. We’re, as a nation of people, being crushed and compartmentalized by this ever present lens, looming over us, exploiting our weaknesses and fears so it may grow wider, and support itself as it follows us, seemingly forever into the future. And one of the worst fears this camera of existential torment exploits, in most of us every day, is, “Do I have a reflection?” “What does it look like?” “Do I look like me?” What does it mean to be transgender? I can’t get away from that question. But I don’t have an answer. There are varying degrees of anguish, depression, panic, anxiety, and other wonderful emotional states that creep up on you and breathe down your neck nearly every waking day. Absolute contempt for the lie of a life you’ve lived till now, and contempt for the fragments still stuck to you, in memories, attached to your body and mind. Fear of those in your own community who would purposefully humiliate, invalidate, or attack you, choosing their own universal moral code over the innate urge and capacity to support the health and continued well being of another human. A ******* neighbor. A ******* pupil. A ******* employee. A ******* sister, brother, son, daughter, mother, father, cousin, ******* blood. What is being transgender like? By my experiences, it’s just like being anyone else in the country. But with a lot more fear, death, exclusion and medication.

I began my life active with sports and other meaningless award systems. Girl's recreational soccer, basketball, bike riding, math competitions, the works Today, I feel weightless useless would be best fit As if all the running, jumping, yelling, point requiring statuses pushed the light out of my transitioned life. I find myself sitting in one area often, as one may do But different than sitting on a bench or sitting actively in company of others I sit wondering exactly who I am looking at Why am I empty lifeless longing towards an imaginary spot in the distant wall I imagine some events in these minutes of stoic despair Hearing goes weak and frozen, in this second, while I continue my Sunday brunch with non-conformative attitudes and her mother, the sweet old dementia I don't mean to have their meetings often, I must of first acquainted as the first grade trauma or the Broadway rendition of Alone Thoughts featuring the Broken High School Years. I hope to work the wheels again, to end these meetings and to live for once, in the midst of motion and pause. This time, stopping and starting as I please.

As the sins partied the night away the sun came rising in the country Tranquility. "Are you ready to spend all eternity together?" Loyalty asked Love as they stood on their balcony.  "My dear, dear, husband soon to be, you already know the answer to the question you ask" said Love.  As Loyalty and Love stand locked in a warming embrace being kissed by the rays of the sun the two share a kiss of their own.  Beep, beep, beep.  "Well this is a perfect time for my communicator to beep" said Love.  Breaking her embrace with Loyalty, Love answers her communicator.  "Hello Faith how are you?" asked Love.  "I'm fine Love and how are you?" answered Faith.  "I'm ready to start this new era in my life" said Love.  "I'm looking over your wedding file.  Are there any last minute changes you want to make?" said Faith.  "No Faith everything's perfect" said Love.  "I'm outside your house waiting on you Love.  Let's get going" said Faith.  "I'll be right down.  I have to go Loyalty" said Love.  Grabbing Love by her waist and pulling her close Loyalty whispers in her ear "Are you sure this is what you want?"  "I wanted you when I first saw you.  Now if you'll excuse me Faith is waiting for me" said Love.  When Love exited her house she found Faith hovering in her brand new transporter.  "Wow Faith this is beautiful" said Love.  "Thank you Love.  This is the new Neo 7000.  It was the last one left" said Faith.  Interrupted by her communicator Faith answers her call from Loyalty.  "Hello Loyalty what do you want?" said Faith.  "Why you have to ask like that Faith?" said Loyalty.  "Just make sure Knowledge have you at the chapel on time.  Now if you'll excuse me I have things to do"  said Faith.  "C'mon Faith we don't have time to play with Loyalty" said Love.  Rising higher in the air Faith and Love zoomed away.  As they flew through the sky Faith asked Love about her humanitarian organization S.O.U.L.  "How was your peace keeping mission in the country Limbo?" asked Faith.  "The citizens there had a lot of raw emotions from the war.  There is a big scar dividing the country" said Love.  "Your organization S.O.U.L. has a lot of strong positive influence.  How long has S.O.U.L. been active in the humanitarian field?" asked Faith.  "Five years" answered Love.  When Faith and Love landed at the chapel Wisdom was waiting for them.  "Love and Faith I've been waiting patiently for the two of you.  I've spoken with Loyalty on my communicator.  He and knowledge will be here shortly and then you can pledge yourselves to each other" said Wisdom.  Just as the three was speaking Grace walked out of the chapel.  "Hello Love and Faith it's about time the two of you showed up" said Grace.  "It's good to have a star for a friend who's gifted in all the arts" said Love.  Love threw her arms around Grace and gave her a big squeeze.  "Let's get you in your wedding dress.  If you'll follow behind me to your dressing room we can get started" said Grace.  As Love and Faith followed behind Grace, Knowledge and Loyalty landed at the chapel.

Somehow your heart enzymes inveigled a way into my system I surmise it was your energising tongue which smuggled them in my pseudoanaphylactic longing to snuggle in vein against your protein its aim a happy interaction tugged by frenzied polypeptide chains when your petite triglycerides coil avidly around my pH changes hydrolysis replenishes steroids to stop any pleasure level plunge so that functional-group transfers may intervene at all active sites supervising where coenzymes await love's coursing stem cell sights that photosynthesise my eyes to sensitise to you despite the dark dancing in all my living cells with infectious smiles an epidemic when your DNA can't polymerase enough of the audacious lipids pleasing as they kiss the density away of fatty acids on soft lips that release protease inhibitors in ways not too selective so our hearts find their metabolic pathway audaciously live and offer themselves completely to a frolic in love reactive

If you ever fall in love with someone who is in a wheelchair remember this: I am in love with you and the chair is not you; Loving someone in a wheelchair is not about the chair at all. It is about changing their perspective, from always looking down and straight ahead,  to around and up. Holding their hand when they think they are not normal Take them to the movies dinner Travel and go places Laugh Talk Cry And when the two of you fight,  don't treat him/her as a fragile piece of glass. Say what is on your mind And mean it. Apologize afterwards regardless. I have been struck;  falling in love with him. He is always there for me and we are the best of friends. He doesn't know that I love him Even though I tell him as often as I can that he is my hero. He has always stood up for me-- He is my superhero The pain he feels every  moment makes me want to trade places with him so he can walk Dance at his wedding Even if it is not with me To actually stand up to hug his family To be more active (Let's go out) Happy (I'm alive) But he makes sacrifices because of his body If I could take away your pain I'd trade your sorrows for a day That you can walk in joy and life A single day without your strife And if I could trade longer, I would So that you can live A life with two legs and arms

Secrets to Loving (Wheelchair Superhero)
Being homesick isn't about being away from home. It's being at home yet still feeling so empty and confused. Because what is home? Home is warmth and love. You could be at home, yet still feel like everything is crashing down. You could be away from home, and feel like you're having the time of your life. You could be lying on your couch, idly watching everything and everyone as they pass by. Mindlessly active, totally passive. Or maybe you're just homesick.

Currently online. Two chat heads active. My fragile heart though, in one. Friends online: 87. Last seen: 16:43. Really, ignoring me? But who are you talking to? Delivered. Delivered. Is this deliberate? Are you busy, are you with someone? Who is he? Don't you see what you do to me? — Minutes since message sent: 320 or more, Years together: best part of four. I’m not counting but Is he the one from your instagram? Friends nearby: 6. Last seen: 23:55. Nevermind. Flick up to clear all apps, And with that my heart, Night.

My amazed ghost, you inspire me to write. How I hate the way you skip, walk and hide, Invading my mind day and through the night, Always dreaming about the light yuletide. Let me compare you to a crazed cherry? You are more unfazed, banal and active. Ice bites the debris of February, And wintertime has the beguiled practive. How do I hate you? Let me count the ways. I hate your brilliant lip, smile and eyes. Thinking of your reviled smile fills my days. My hate for you is the attractive flies. Now I must away with an open heart, Remember my wild words whilst we're apart.

Ode to the ghost
You are who jumpstarts And completes my day And I love how You wake my heart up With a simple "Good morning" And "Hey." You are who soothes my nerves And calms my mind In the morning. You are the warmth That I seek When it starts raining. And you will always be Like my favorite drink When I am happy, down, Or when I can't think. I think... I think I love you The way that I love coffee. Doesn't matter if it is hot, warm, Iced, blended, with milk, without, Sweet, pure, brown, black, bitter, With chocolate or raspberry, Single or double shot, Even decaf. It doesn't matter. I love coffee because It is coffee. And [I think], I love you... Because you are you. You have good days and bad days. And days when you lose control. You are generally sweet and gentle and funny But there are days When your patience wears thin And I see that a lot with you. You have an active mind And a creativity of a five-year-old Your stories blow my mind And are out of this world. Yet there are days when Your stories are sad. And I still love you for that. You are caring and protective of me And loving and genuine and sincere But sometimes you lie And sometimes you hide And your fear of questions, and your paranoia Kind of offends me. And even in days when you could be Like a ticking time bomb Waiting to explode About to lose control Believe me, it doesn't matter. I am willing to take the blow And I would try to defuse you. But even if you hurt me I think... I know... I would still love you. Because you don't love coffee Only when it is sweet. Or creamy. You love coffee if you get to appreciate it In all its bitter glory. And I want you to know... I want to see the best And the worst parts of you. And I know... Even then I will still love you. But I have to remind myself To take it easy. Because I might burn my lips And my tongue From your intensity. But even then... Though it hurts. I will still be able to enjoy you. I know... I have been burned by coffee too.

‘…. and now, here’s Rick with the latest Market news…’ ‘Val, trading was very brisk today, with a number of influences that set the market off to some defined trends and statements. Of course, the Human Virtue Exchange always seems to rely on the volatility that resides ‘between the ears’ as noted by the veteran brokers on the floor, but the sharp ranges of prices offered versus profit taking has set the bar very high in the relative value of Basic Human Virtue.

Two Forms of Nonsense
‘…. and now, here’s Rick with the latest Market news…’ ‘Val, trading was very brisk today, with a number of influences that set the market off to some defined trends and statements. Of course, the Human Virtue Exchange always seems to rely on the volatility that resides ‘between the ears’ as noted by the veteran brokers on the floor, but the sharp ranges of prices offered versus profit taking has set the bar very high in the relative value of Basic Human Virtue. Now to the numbers: Courage [WHOME], Patience [PP], and former market darling Perseverance [GULP], all varied widely today on news from Washington that their value was doomed to fall in the light of the expected growth of Persistence [IAM] which history has shown to be a marked drag on just about everything.

I want to write you a trilogy on the stages in which our relationship formed. The first book would be solely based on the day that I stopped treating your text messages like active landmines. Stopped tiptoeing. No longer being afraid of what your affection would do to me once I submit to it. It would be based on the first step I took to stop being so **** afraid. From that very day you've helped me in ways I'll never be able to fully explain. Helped me let go of fear and trepidation, and open my heart to the greatest thing in the world; your love. The second would revolve around the first time you kissed me. I don't know if you noticed, but my knees buckled like seatbelts and I shook like glass window panes in torrential rain. That day you awoke something inside me that I didn't know existed but I'm so glad you found it. Like a stray kitten I was lost and you brought me back home without questioning where I'd been, and I'll never fully understand why, but I guess it doesn't matter. You've taught me not to overthink things, to just revel in the moment. The third would be set in here and now. Every forehead kiss and stolen glance sums up to another page, every loving gesture is another chapter. We are creating something people wish they could create for themselves. A love that belongs in museums to teach the world what it really means to give yourself to someone, with no fear, and not a single ounce of regret.  To say that you changed my life is an understatement. You altered my way of thinking. Took a broken thing and made it new again. Made me, new again. And with every word that slips from your lips I am reborn.

Estimate tells us the avg. height of a female in the U.S. is 64 inches. This is quantitative. Unfeeling of prospect, the numbers fascinate and baffle. Recent estimation supposes 1500 active volcanoes on the earth of which 500 have erupted since history, the invention of writing.                                                                        Such a short time ago. Measuring in quantities, the earth is 4.5-4.6 billion years old. Creatures of like sentience who never wrote about volcanoes, the age of their earth. Quantities hum of something borrowed. So tight-wound, so deeply close, and yet still.                                                                         Something not ours. Blind, free of invention.

As the sins partied the night away in the country Darkness the sun came rising in the country Tranquility. "Are you ready to spend all eternity together?" Loyalty asked Love as they stood on their balcony.  "My dear, dear, husband soon to be you already know the answer to the question you ask" said Love.  As Loyalty and Love stood locked in a warming embrace being kissed by the rays of the sun the two share a kiss of their own. Beep, beep, beep, "Well this is a perfect time for my communicator to beep" said Love.  Love broke her embrace with Loyalty and answered her communicator.  "Hello Faith how are you?" asked Love.  "I'm fine Love and how are you?" answered Faith.  "I'm ready to start this new era in my life" said Love.  "I'm looking over your wedding file.  Are there any last minute changes you want to make?" said Faith.  "No Faith everything's perfect" said Love.  "Lets get going" said Faith.  "I'll be right down.  I have to go Loyalty" said Love.  "Loyalty grabbed Love by her waist and pulled her close.  He whispers in her ear "Are you sure this is what you want?"  "I've wanted you when I first saw you.  Now if you'll excuse me Faith is waiting for me" said Love When Love exited her house she found Faith hovering in her brand new transporter.  "Wow Faith this is beautiful" said Love.  "Thank you Love.  This is the new Neo 7000.  It was the last one left" said Faith.  Interrupted by her communicator Faith answers her call from Loyalty.   "Hello Loyalty what do you want?" said Faith.  "Why you have to ask like that Faith?" said Loyalty.  "Just make sure Knowledge have you at the chapel on time.  Now if you'll excuse me I have things to do" said Faith.  "C'mon Faith we don't have time to play with Loyalty" said Love.  Rising higher in the air Faith and Love zoomed away. As they flew through the sky Faith asked Love about her humanitarian organization S.O.U.L.  "How was your peace keeping mission in the country Limbo?" asked Faith.  "The citizens there had a lot of raw emotions from war.  There is a big scar dividing the country" said Love.  "Your organization S.O.U.L. has a lot of positive influence.  How long has S.O.U.L. been active in the humanitarian field?" asked Faith.  "Five years" answered Love.  When Faith and Love landed at the chapel Wisdom was waiting for them.

Once you participate in a race, if not anything else, you know one thing for sure. Your own calibre. It's then you realize and understand you need to make an active participation in every race from here onwards. Your first experience teaches you a lot, since what follows later is an active participation from your side. Over a period of time everything of which you are part starts changing Now it's time to look for a better future Always keep in mind that a secured future cannot be achieved if efforts are not been made An uncertain future not only remains uncertain, but also keeps the present on hold. What is thought upon is not the aim, but also the efforts that need to be made. Always keep in mind take one step at a time while climbing the ladder, then it does not matter how long the ladder is. The only thing that matters and also will make a difference is when you fall off the ladder. At that point in time you will have to decide for yourself whether you want to climb again. It’s not a mistake or an error, something which is done intentionally when you fall off the ladder, since mistakes happen. Better learn from those mistakes and keep going A moment in time will come when you will realize and understand how everything started That will be the great moment in time, since that moment will be important Till then keep going. It’s success that everyone wants, but there is a price for everything, which you pay, including the success that you want. Success comes at a price. Better understand the outside world carefully and then act according to your own experience. Once a step it taken, there is no point in looking back Agreed it’s now or never, but only for those who know what they have been through in the past. Once decided upon something, stick to the same Understand and realize one thing for sure, time and tide waits for no one Always be truthful and honest to yourself, even when you are making all the efforts. Efforts never go wasted when the right direction is sought. Compromise and negotiation is part of the game What’s important to remember is mending your ways for short terms gains, something which remains unacceptable. Act wisely, but be sure that there is no shortcut to success. So it’s the passion and desire in you, inside you The willingness to take the risk and go out for something of which you are absolutely sure. The never give up attitude in life will make everything clear in mind Once decided and everything is set and settled in mind, then from that point onwards proceed towards your aim. Finally all that matters is success. So don’t waste a single moment in time of your life and act according to what you have planned. Definitely a moment in time will come when you will gain success and then the world will be at your feet. Till that point in time comes keep going.

She walks down pavement She makes the government’s infrastructure look like beauty Her beauty turns away the rules of the snooty conservative government The constitution loses its soul When she bends over to check the hood of a car about to roll Her boyfriend accompanied by other boyfriends who hit on her I stand on the sidelines Problem is I murmur You probably thought a stutter was worse She’s such a high class gal Despite her sultriness and I’m not judging But I must mention she goes to Church So you might still mistake her for being an uptown sister She dances to rock music Her head doesn’t even sway to the EDM that the plebeians surrounding her play She’s an anachronism But she just needs me to introduce her Monet’s impressionism I bet her cultural values force her to mould Picasso’s Cubism Even though I’m not a man’s man She without influence is not enough Because influencing is love And I hope it is to this cute rebellious dud I suppose from her house she ran When she looked morose in school during period nine It was English Drama and suddenly she couldn’t seem to remember the line With her friends flanking her she walks and talks She’s on the phone while she’s wearing her socks She’s on the prowl she’s an active girl That women is close to my heart And I hope to treat her like a clam treats its pearl

My Girl From Afar
"Go to the pool." "Ride your bike for once." "Go to the gym with your friends." "Play in the park." "You can't eat **** like that and expect to not gain any weight." "Get off your **** and stop being lazy." "Why can't you be more active?" "You're such a ****** *Why do you always pick on me? I try to do those things but when you leave a list of chores that take 6 hours, its not like I can do much. All while I'm babysitting your children. I just wish I could be the "skinny" daughter that you want. I'm comfortable in my body until you say these things. Then when I start to feel better, you knock me down again.* Should I stop eating all together and finally give you, Skinny?

I was taught in science that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, and is simply manipulated into different forms and transferred to other objets. In Psychology I was taught about the pre-frontal cortex, and how it houses the emotions of the human soul, and about the hippocampus which carefully extracting these emotions into long term memory so they can live forever. I wasn’t taught how these emotions were conserved. I started wondering to myself, where the **** do the emotions one puts into another go? Can emotions be created or destroyed inside the pre-frontal cortex? Or are they simply transferred from mine to yours, which allows you to put effort into someone else, leaving my emotional remnants to manipulate themselves into pain? Am I able to transfer my feelings into your PFC so they can spark a reaction with whats inside and manipulate them into something different? Maybe thats how mutual feelings come about. But would it not work if your necessary reactants have already been transferred elsewhere? I assume my emotions would react with your painful remnants to leave you neutral again, giving you the choice to forget him or feed him a bit more. Then how the **** do the feelings of one change as time goes on? I assume that infatuation never completes its journey to the hippocampus and simply passes through the PFC. But how do emotions get manipulated into something negative after the rare chance that they complete the savage journey to the long term chamber? The intermolecular forces of the bond created between us possibly gets overcome by something more powerful. Something that has been freshly transferred into the PFC of one of the emotional bond carriers; like fear, or the emotional energy of someone new, and she’ll tell him “it wasn’t meant to be” Which explains how you can move on whilst I can’t as my bond is also broken, but without consent, my their emotions to go haywire and destroy my psyche as they’re not bonded to anything. I’m “broken”. Although the intermolecular forces of the emotions inside your PFC have been overcome and manipulated into something new, the old emotional bonds still exist in her hippocampus, as well as his. Emotions will constantly haunt me from there, creating constant relapse as the painful memories are resurrected and transferred back into his PFC. They’ll haunt you too, possibly reacting with your current state to create regret. Either regret of breaking the bonds or forming them in the first place. I’ll reach a neutral state again, and you will have your turn to be broken when emotions from someone else are transferred respectively. But we’ll never forget each other. So i guess love never dies. Only active love. As the emotions in the hippocampus are set in stone whilst that in the PFC are transferred and manipulated, just like matter, and energy. After all, we are just matter, with energy.

When, instead of cozying in bed I wander out there with Kerouac, Imagining that I am Kerouac Or some slave who walks upright; Or a priest without a crowd With hands and feet tied. When, instead of snoring like hell, I am left unimaginative by some; I am making disgusting Love with shadows unknown And remain pinned against the wall. I am some nine year old senile who wets her bed in fear and disbelief. Lights flicker and then fade And the switch becomes a button pressed to send Someone in raving comfort. I am not a stranger to sleepless nights Even when night becomes noon. Nightmares haunt me no more but I Am left haunted by my bed. Sheets crumpled by tossing and turning. My bed does not recognize my warmth. Voice recordings and constant tweetings Pump blood to my Über active head. Sleepless nights are well received as my body Succumbs to sleep. I live in a different world with five hundred other names And the ten thousand other Me’s are all in disarray. (And when the clock chimes at one, two, three ‘til way down six, There’s a carnival of sorts with hair strands flailing like Seven sets of arms.) I am not a stranger to sleepless nights And wetting my bed is not a Sin. I am sinful beyond recognition, as my bed is my witness. I have had different beds But to me, they’re all the same. Some, soft; others, too hard Or covered in satin, exaggerated by the moonlight. Some, made of wood While others, with tight springs. Water’s absurd but so is steel. Double padding, triple linings, four feet, at times, none; There’s the car, the guest room, the floor, hospital bed, A seat next to a complete stranger --- I make my bed before sleeping And leave it when I’m done. I am not a stranger to sleepless nights And I jump on the bed at midnight. I am not a stranger to morning tides and the morning shows on TV. I’m not a stranger at all, no, And when I sleep, I sleep in peace. Stranger things have happened Noons and sudden weekends are no way sleep - inducing; I am left believing That nights and days dance in my Sleeplessness.

God is EZ PZ
I am honest but I lie to myself. I am vain & I am intolerant. I am an active advocate of my morals but I am unsure that they exist. I am not convinced my friends know me- I am not convinced that I know me. Sometimes I laugh all day long & then I cry myself to sleep. I worry there are too many thoughts inside my head. I worry I don’t think enough. I call myself complex but I am so simple on Saturdays. I do not have a favorite anything nor do I have a soft spot for anyone. However, all I am is soft on certain Sundays. I’ve been fearless & I’ve been terrified both on a Friday. I answer “no” & then do it anyway. I don’t believe in love but I fall in and out of it as you think out loud. I am consumed with emotion. I am numb. I like the way the sun feels against my skin but I sit in the shade. I am compassionate & I hate everyone. I am a wallflower but I am obnoxious. I quit smoking months ago but *** me a cig & watch me inhale it. I am 8 & I am 18 & I am 80 in an hour. I cant do math in my mind but I subtract you from and add you to the equation twice every week. I’ll pick you apart for hours & then tell you that you have weak values. I am a diagnosed insomniac but I can sleep from 6am to 6pm on a Monday. I preach self-love with bleeding wrists. I will call you in the middle of the night & then ignore you in the morning. I am the most clear minded psychopath who ever lived. I am so incredibly happy & so terribly sad.
