Acceptance is an ache
you can never quite get over.
Acceptance is a shape
in your
heart,
a pain-shape left in you
by a brutal
indifferent
reality.
Acceptance will always hurt,
past oxycontin,
past ketamine and weed.
Even alcohol leaves you empty
when it fills you.
Acceptance aches.

A writer isn't someone who cares about syntax or editing. They're not someone with a message or an ideology that everyone magically agrees with. A real writer talks to the page with a pen or a keyboard. Poetry, stories, essay, it's all just conversation. That's the secret.

I really need to read your shit more, I love sci fi and dabble in it myself.

I spoke to this woman online. I asked her, "you wanna know a secret?"
She said "sure."
I waited a minute, the surefire sign of nonchalance. I took my time to write three words.
"I like feet."
Within a second, the app erased her from my existence.
Onto the next one I went.

I wanted nothing more than to be a hero in my youth. To put my life on the line for others out of selflessness and virtue. Then I realized that it was much more brave to live the life I have now. Yet our culture confuses ordinary stability with complacency. That's not true.

Politicians and Influencers Will Never Attend Your Funeral
In light of the recent tragedies in Minnesota, the only thing I can really feel is disgust and grief.

I hate both sides of the political aisle with a deep passion, not because I'm a fence sitter but because these assholes lie and manipulate and spread misinformation, and it results in people DYING. January 6th and Minnesota are not different. They're caused by the same manipulations.

Why can't they see that their speakers and their leaders are using them like pawns? Left, right, red, blue. They drop like flies for people who won't attend their funerals and console their families. If the cause is bigger than the person, they would get parades. They never will.

Those who were and are persecuted are hardly who I'm talking about. Those in the West don't face that level of persecution for expressing their thoughts, except in the case of the UK, of which people who even question the government online can face terrorism charges.

The idealism I once had has been shattered like a mirror, punched by a bare fist that dripped blood in the sink. I still have hope, but hope without idealism is just putting one foot in front of the other. If I had no hope I would lay on the ground and rot. I didn't need it anyway.

I destroyed a lot of these in Empire At War.

I destroyed a lot of these in Empire At War.
My scars run far deeper than my skin.
There's a few here and there,
opening again and again.
The past haunts me like a #ghost,
a spectre in the night.
I'm the only one it wakes up
with terrors, tremors and fright.
After a while it became
my freeloading roommate.
Where's my rent, asshole?

Aside from environmental concerns and corporate layoffs of white collar workers (fuck them, they look down on people like me anyway), why do you hate #ai? Because I sure as shit don't and your humanist reasoning is tiresome, exhausting and regurgitated.

I think we should just let the world burn.
It's the only way we'll ever collectively learn.
At one point I wanted to save the earth,
but not anymore, screw the rate of birth.
You think I'm negative but the future is here
and all I see is no one lending an ear.
So screw you all.

I was attached in a symbiotic way.
So why the hell was I poisoned?
Why the hell did you drink it up
and drown it out with another chosen?
You've turned my eyes red
and my heart is stone-cold, frozen.
You destroyed what made me sweet,
my bakery has been snowed in.

I really don't like people. One on one, they're alright. They're not shy of expressing themselves. En masse? They're terrible. All they know with their herd mentality is friend vs enemy. They become extreme in numbers. Maybe that's why I feel alienated in mindless society.

That still illicits an emotion, which is the hallmark of good stuff.
