Atone?!

Too far a distance
Too long a life
Too simple a question
Too complex an answer
It feels alone

A flower
Some bushes
A wall of trees
And perhaps one or two birds
It feels alone

The roaring crowd
Under the dazzling lights
With their dosed up minds
And their empty hearts
It feels the same

Running thoughts
Rucked up ones
Sucked up souls
Wound up ghouls
It feels the same

It feels the same
In search of fame
It sounds so lame
Yet, part of the game

It feels the least
It feels the most
It feels the same
It feels alone
And yet so numb
This game is dumb

Cool (x2) Cool (x5) The other day, I read somewhere that no work of art worth something has ever been a result of happiness. That ought to be wrong, right? Common, tell me?* I had been avoiding even the jotting down of my own thoughts, which I do on a haphazardous non-stop basis, until I could manage to get a hold of joy or something along the lines of it.

But in one in which the grayness of life's mechanics are embraced and put into use for further improvement. Love and hate, desire and disgust, joy and sadness, pride and shame, hope and fear; these all are the...

Holidays (My Casimir Pulaski Day)

I'm just lying down, staring at the cracks of a mirror I broke. All the other things I don't understand, they are all out there taking part in what they must. I used to keep on wondering, searching for an answer. It put me in distress, filled me with distaste. So I just gave up, stopped all my thoughts, jammed them in a dark room, and said "Forever goodbye." Took over then my heart. Said "Forever, I'll love." It kept on walking the line that it should never have. By the way that it fell, in that state of well, it did cheer me up. It was an unseen hell. "It all turned out fine, or at least OK." That's what I tell myself, and I include no delay. I'm just lying down, rolling around. Forevers are gone, gones are forever. So why don't you just lie down, try to roll around, say why you're doing this. It would all be alright, or at least OK. For everyone I know. And all the rest that I don't. P.S. Casimir Pulaski Day is a loc...
