No sleep. No wake. No
rejuvenation. Just as
tired as last night.

ten years. rekindled.
rawness awakened, and pain
resurfaced quickly.

#marketing and advertising
are the bane of creativity,
and, quite frankly, decimate
the hopes and dreams of
so many amateur’s, who are
better than masters, but
must work all day at dead
end jobs simply because
they run in the wrong social
circles.

the fear of never
being enough is keeping
me from happiness.

wake from the #nightmare
just to wipe my eyes
and face
incomprehensible
horrors
beyond even
Lovecraft’s imagination.

Every
single
day
of
my
life.

#vss365 that started with a #haiku but decided it needed more.

We all need
different means
to our ends.

I’m terrified
of death
as much as

I ask for it.
(I want relief,
is what I crave,

and I don’t know
what else will
finally bring relief.)

What I need
is my means
to an end.

I just never
know
if I’ll find it.

This will all be a
memory, simply, all we
have to do is live.

I had a
#dream that she
found eternal happiness.

It made me wake
feeling rested,
for the first time
since I was
a little boy.

Dogen, i believe,
said
the only permentant
is impermanence.
Basho said
the frog jumped
into the water.
Tanikawa said
the iced coffee is good
the strawberry pastry
is tasty.
I say
I’m not sure
what the question was.

It just keeps coming back.
I get some control
just to lose it in the
daily dice roll.

There’s weights on my
hemispheres that pull
at my corpus callosum.

I know it will end.
I know it will pass.
But it still hurts
right now

when i analyze myself

my affinity for the words

altruistic suicide

has always spoken heavily.

the heart
had a hole

a wound

from sorrow

where love
bled

in a flood

there was
some comfort

in feeing numb

while the colorless world
drowned all memories

and being alone
meant they had the night

to themselves

I don’t
want to wake up
on my deathbed
and realize
I could have been
happy
the whole time.

Emotionally weakened-
