Scribbled Thoughts

23:15

He notices and compliments

another with an achievement

you’re desperately trying

to reach,

but he does not turn

and acknowledge you.

That’s how you know

your delusion of progress.

Nothing has changed for you.

23:14

Return to your life

after a long absence

you couldn’t prevent,

and witness how

unneeded you really were.

Resent those who

stepped into your place

and crush everything

they are, whether

you should or not.

Because what else

is there left for you?

23:13

Neutral monotone

of endless repetition.

23:12

Parties have emotional lives of their own,

happy, loving…jealous, dark.

They influence the attendees

and plunge them into moods

they may not want to explore,

lust, guilt, shame, desperation.

Some may even change them

forever.

23:11

Stress-citment.

23:10

Have to keep moving

or the ground planks

will sink.

23:9

Reverse the cycle.

23:8

Dismantled his body and mind.

23:7

Shimmer and shines, cleaning divine.

(The next few are not really poems, just a line I want to use somewhere one day)

23:6

Eat with your mouth full.
