a sad state of affairs

Is that how it is?
I never would have known
In truth
My heart
Is complete
On its own

There's beauty in your sorrow
Your will to push on through
The stakes of such a game
Would pull me clean in two.

That I know
That I don't know
Is the opening
Of my thesis
On life.

I just want there to be more of it

"Do your best,
That's all we want"

But, honestly,
It's not even that

I hope that you
Can continue being you

Amazing us
With what you do

Is just a side benefit
To your continued existence

Gasp! Honestly, probably still worth it.

anything that causes a brain explosion.
Enthralling art
Knowledge that makes me question everything
A really funny joke
Well-made ragebait.

Any creation that brings with it inspiration

Oh, come on! I use this place like a poetry journal. I'm sure it's at least a net neutral.

Though there is some serious brainrot sometimes. :)

A daze of days
To celebrate
The many ways
We shed our fate

I wish to say
I know the date
But the numbers
never sublimate

Oft I fear
I'd be alone
To leave a message
At the tone

So in these days of daze
I do my best
To connect myself
Unto the rest.

Ride the waves
Of expectations missed
Know that knowing's
Not a holy quest
You only need
A lesser gist
To wander through
Creation's mist

Bent to a pretzel
Is it, even still, better
Than being broken?

Oh so ever often
I hear these fear-filled complainers
speak of unfixable breaks

But the growth inherent in survival
The pain of your enemy's arrival
There's more to life than staying safe.

Until until until

Yes, the rest is set-up, if anything.

But, I don't need it to work, I need it to be me.

And yet,
Intent spoken late
Still better than never
If the habit won't break
Push through the bad weather

A wish in truth
A wish so kind
That all that's evil
One word can bind

But oft an actor
Poorly inclined
has hidden goals
Beyond my mind.

So much effort
In every day
To not booby-trap
Every single vessel.

Each conversation finished
And connection made
I'd plant another bomb
Just to prove they don't care.
