This is the general category of fuckery that goes on and on and doesn’t seem interested in stopping.

Watch this psychological mayhem
I don’t usually hold people to my standards because they’re high standards
But I’m nothing special so said standards must also be nothing special
So here I am confused that people don’t know what I do
While simultaneously not wanting to hold them to my high standards
Even though I’m pretty sure I’m just as much of a dumbass as any other solar result
But I can’t possibly know more than the average person
Because that would make me above average
But acknowledging that I’m above average would be narcissistic
I cannot be special
So if I’m normal does that make all these other people below normal?
I thought average was the most common
I’m so confused by people not finding the same patterns in society that I have
Told all my life I’m one of the “smart ones”
Then told if you think you’re smarter you’re probably not
Life is so chaotic
You’re this but if you think you’re that you’re a terrible person
I wouldn’t even think I might be better if so many of the people I run into weren’t the worst?
But if so many people are the worst then what does that say?
And I’m so fucking special
Special disease
Special isolation
Special poverty due to the special disease
And I’m not fucking special
Yeah I’m weird and I think differently
Put any other human through 8 years of isolation
Yes, it’s special
I still get to be a customer
Or be a cashier
Never me in front of anyone
But fuck me I’m not some great being or something
I cannot view myself as anything other than another human
I can’t be unique
Not in untold billions
Somewhere in history there must be other mes
Right?
So I don’t know maybe they just don’t know the same things as me but they know the same amount?
Who knows?
Is it the same gods that rained incessantly for days when I was out but stopped as soon as I was in?
Do they know?
I wish I could speak their language
I don’t even want to be special
Really could have done just fine with average
I mean if I am something special
The bar must be really fucking low
If anything I’m number 1 at hating myself but still living
There are the sirens
Maybe I should go hide for a while

1000 lives was already not okay
You don’t somehow make it even by removing another 1000
And 5000 was just about the point that my feeling that this wasn’t about any lives at all
10000 was the point I thought the perpetrators should be put into the type of scenario the victims are currently living in
20000 is beyond my comprehension
That’s my entire city wiped out
And yet the numbers grow
And there are still people acting as if this is about terror
Maybe it is
But the terrorists are not who you think they are
And they think they belong there because God said so
Or their ancestors were there or something
Brb while I dehouse everyone in Wales who isn’t Welsh
I don’t know the answer to make it stop
It’s just more lives ticking away to dust right?
And who really cares about the environment when land is on the line
God these people are crazy
Why did you lock me in a room with them?

We aren’t going to talk about it
The changing shape
Just look at it feel moderately confused and use it anyways
This world is so haunted
And the weather is being a big meanie today
Big meanie
It hurts me
Like the universe says lots of things
And here have a bad day
Is one of them
Content was fine
Body felt like led
I want it to snow so I can stop being cold
I miss not being cold
This dreadful wet
The way it enters my bones and chills me from the inside
I wish I had a portable heater or something
A little sun to carry around and cuddle when it’s cold
Oh how I miss him
My eyes got tired of being awake before I was even done my shift
How I miss you when you’re not here
You’re right there
No different than yesterday
Or the day before
But I haven’t seen you
As if you’re not there at all
Clouds
Me shaking my fist at clouds
Exhausted
I wish I had a cure for missing you

Hey Sun
Remember when you drew sunglasses on my retinas when I looked at you?
Still can’t stop
You bright mother fucker
You beautiful glowing orb
Come on over here and light up the night
With day
They think you aren’t alive
But they acknowledge that you die
They don’t pay you your worth
That’s for sure
So many mysteries
At least I know I love you
Humans get in the way
But I love you
Big brilliant glowing thing
Light like warm touch on my skin
Do they see you?
I wish everyone saw you
That they looked at you like the moon
Like a valuable thing
Precious
I should say, value is not really a thing
Just hold on to me for a moment with your brightness
This gentle warmth

I think I’m getting too used to my body in my dreams
I see myself in daylight and wonder
What is that?
I can blame it on any number of things
I have a reason for everything afterall
Some people call them excuses
So what if I’m taking multiple medications whose side affects are weight gain?
So what if I will literally sleep for 15+ hours if I do anything active?
Facebook bombards me with weight loss and shape wear ads
Because apparently it’s not acceptable for me to be overweight
It’s not acceptable that all I can eat is garbage because I can’t cook
Constantly advertising meal kits like if I’d just cook them things would be better
Advertising is tiresome
Facebook currently thinks I’m a parent and is sending me ads for apps to manipulate house work out of children
The ads in my dreams are always scenery
Just something in the background
They put a box in our hands so they could advertise to us 24/7
It’s just another way to make us do the same things
Constantly searching for something we’ll never find
There’s no money in it
It’s just my feelings
I wish I could recognise myself in daylight
I wish you could too

I have so many things to say to you
No where to put them where you’ll see them
So many words I have no words left
I’ve said more than enough words for the both of us
Maybe even if we met there would be nothing to say
Everything feels like harassment
Everything I do
Everything that happens to me
And there are the sirens
Just police
No well wish for them
I doubt we’d even get along now
If we would it wouldn’t be like this
So many things to say
So say in the hole
Of ink
I hope you’re okay
I doubt it matters
