Using haiku to simplify life. Sometimes thoughtful, despairing, funny. Probably always a bit bad.

Three simple rules. 5, 7, 5. Don't panic. Just make.

(A repost from me means I found you profound and important, not bad!)

No AI. Be better.
Pinned
(1/18) I spent years of my life with total creative block. This was something I just could not deal with mentally, after being told my whole life that my strength came from my creativity. The more I fought against it, the more stubborn it became, until I just gave up.
Be a source of light,
and detach your own shadow.
Burn bright, melt the ice.

These short syllables
aren't always enough to show
the depth of my rage.

I'll go twice. Or more.
Fuck it. They all break the rules,
maybe we should start.

Three times, and maybe
that's enough to say "enough".
If not, I'll scream it.

We are all assholes,
the only difference is some
of us try to change

Nothing makes me smile
like a stranger sharing their
treasured memories

The elaborate
dance, wordplay as we circle,
and hope our hands brush

Each struggle, a cog,
piece of a greater puzzle,
falling into place

It's Friday, Friday,
gotta get down on Friday,
everybody's loo-

(No really I'm sorry, once I wondered if it fit into haiku format, I couldn't stop thinking about posting this, it's your problem now)

I think I can say,
all considered, with straight face,
what the fuck was that

I forgot just how
instant love can be when it's
unconditional

I swapped paid burnout
for unpaid expectations
and further burnout

I can't spin these plates
if you keep throwing me these
sharp knives to juggle

Woke up this morning
with fuck the world energy.
It's a start, I guess.

(p.s. not a haiku, actual energy would be great though, I shouldn't have to plan everything I need to take to climb the stairs)

I was told it was
just experimentation.
I'm still pretty gay.

So, War of the Worlds.
Feels like the Martians should've done basic research.

When I feel unseen,
my voice follows close behind,
I must be unheard

The energy use
of your AI laziness
should terrify you

Her eyes like saucers
never paid much attention
until I got cheese out

Colour, flash and bangs,
glorious celebration
from which she must hide

Pick myself back up
and climb up onto the shelf -
slightly too fragile

The nod of the head
to let you know I agree,
let's go back to bed

Respite from endless

burnout permission

Off for a cosy
stay in a cosy hut in

Puff up your chest and
act like a real big tough man
from behind that bush

Breathe in, and release,
the air spirals in your lungs
and rejoins the world
