the more i learn
the more empty i feel
learning but
the depth of the vessel
empty
never sated

unrequited
it’s been too long to count
the days of my love for you
immovable through stormy life
yet unrequited throughoutmy use to you was to be used
for your whims were my commands
only to be discarded after
like stale news of old yesterat least you could’ve hated me
i would’ve cherished the vehemence
all i could see was indifference
unworthy to elicit an emotion -
begging for pain
staring at that blank page
for hours on end
trying really hard to find
worthy use for the parchmentwhere have all the words gone
why has the ink dried
used to fill both sides easy
it’s hard now to finish a sidemaybe it’s this feeling i have
all the pain seems torched
how do i write when i’m happy
who am i if i’m not scorched -
quatrain
a constant struggle to survive
the daily curveballs of life
a fluttering stomach, uneasy mind
leaving all comforts behind -
where, why?
existence lies
in belief
sometimes reality
is a lie
i am everywhere
i am nowherelife lies
in action
a flatline
is a lie
i am dead
i am alive -
a song
a song heard within
humming away anxious soul
as peace finds itself
with mind in controlcan’t seem to place though
the tune stuck inside
was it something i heard
or did it in my heart residemy fears melted away forever
i’m ready for the raven
humming away my song
it’ll feel i’m bound to heaven -
striving for danger
why should i be satisfied
with mediocrity
why should i stop dreaming
of triumph
why should i distance myself
from risks
why should i give in to life
of securitymy determination is who i am
fuck adequacy
my dreams are what drive me
fuck nightmares
my adventures are what excite me
fuck distress
my treacherous path is silk to me
fuck safety -
real freedom
dreams make for a wonderful life
for perfection is impeccable
and thoughts, limitlessbut life outside closed eyelids
is a life with real stakes
worth fighting, tireless
