Poetry

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

  • Does anyone else feel like they just can’t find their people?

    I envision this selfless relationship where we both just do things for eachother because we want to

    I’m still looking for someone to embrace me

    Truly embrace me

    Celestial non-binary, definitely crazy, definitely strong feelings

    Just take me and accept me

    Someone who gets my pronouns right

    My ears are so used to hearing the wrong pronoun they reflexively close as it comes to the part of the sentence where pronouns are

    Startled awake when it’s right

    Still looking for someone to take the desperate me and understand why

    Someone who understands

    We’re so tired

    Wanting from me

    Produces a wall

    But when it’s unexpected I’ll bend over backwards to provide

    I hate obligation

    I’m not obligated to do anything I’m a damn human being

    A living creature with its own dreams and needs and I don’t want to feel obligated to anyone for anything

    This overflowing soul is screaming for freedom

    Not captivity in human expectations

    I’m more wild than you’ll know because, other than the explosive one, I, I hide it away for the sake of others

    Unlike so many

    Because that’s something I feel obligated to do

    Because I’m weird and complex like that

    I feel obligated to humanity but refuse obligations to single humans

    Unless they’re a special person

    I haven’t had one of those in a long time

    I wonder how long I’ll be in the middle?

    How do we find the people we seek in a sea of no’s and rejection?

    I don’t know, if the point of this exercise was to make me admit that I can live, completely alone

    With birds pecking me

    Yeah, here I am

    And it’s horrid

    Do you expect me to say it’s fine like this?

    It is miserable at best

    Isn’t it so crazy how many layers to human suffering there are?

    Better off than most

    Alone as hell

    Balancing on the edge

    Because I see them suffering and you’re all trying to make me join them?

    Is it easier to scrape them off the ledge than to build a rescue for those below?

    Government, society, these people with all the power

    Despairing from the thought of being one of the ones who’s really suffering

    The cause of my greatest fears coming to light walks in

    And walks out casually

    Can my heart take the scraping?

    I’m in the process of the government trying to abort me late in life

    Funneling me ever closer to needing to apply for MAID or be homeless

    Homeless with chronic illnesses and a walker

    I mean, other people are doing it I guess

    There’s no net

    Just so you’re all aware.

    There is no safety net

    It’s a sieve and we are tiny particles of flour

    Only those bloated by status don’t fall through

    No community to save me

    It’s one of those things where I wasn’t expecting but I was hoping

    It’s all up to the Universe and the universe

    Have fun deciding who wins I gue

  • I feel lost in this world of hustling and bustling, to and fro

    I can’t keep up with the go go go

    I just sit here watching it all transform around me

    Entire communities where there once was forest

    Can’t go back to my childhood play place

    It’s townhouses now

    There is no decrepit Elven Playground

    Lost in the forest having appeared from who knows where

    Years of the elements showing its age

    No, it was torn down along with the trees

    I didn’t get to see the teeter totter tree slowly rot away and return to the Earth

    Leaving that poor tree that bore her to finally rest

    There are no streams in river

    Trickles of water here and there

    Always heading to the pond

    Yet a pond it stayed

    Until they drained it

    These transformations in the name of human gain

    Only for the houses they built to skyrocket in price and suddenly it’s the rich that live here

    And the poor should just leave

    So they are, good luck

    This progress

    This ever achieving more, and more

    Exponentially

    As if our achievements are the Universe themself, expanding ever outward

    Neverending

    It ends

    Everything has a limit

    You fly to it

    Then decend

    If we managed a certain height throughout we’d achieve more than a desperate bought for the top does

    The burst

    The burn out

    Every bubble bursts

    I don’t know where we’ll be when the Universe does but here?

    I can see and feel the limit

    We’ve reached it and they’re still pushing

    This funneling of cash upwards

    If we’re not at the breaking point now we will be in a few years

    God I hope someone wakes the fuck up before that happens

    I don’t know

    Someone who can actually rally people to a cause

    What’s the good of being awake if it’s just to stay here and see things steadily getting worse?

    Why can’t I experience the anaesthesia that the masses are on?

    Steady my thoughts and just ignore it so I don’t see it coming

    Can’t see my own future, but humanity’s?

    How to create something else

    I don’t know

    To blindly believe in the good, when I’ve been shown so much of the bad

    You ask for it

    Over and over

    Belief of the future

    It’s all going so much faster than me

    I am but a broken shell containing a frazzled and stressed out spirit

    My ability is not controlled by belief

    I need a right hand

    I always feel like that’s just the wrongest term and I hate it

    仲間が必要ね?

    Ah these words we use that don’t convey all the things we want to say

    If only I could know every language ever spoken and have a word for everything at once

    I don’t know why you encourage me, I go at such a slow pace

    Everything is changing around me

    While I feel I stay the same.

  • Toxic social media

    Being force fed right wing conspiracy rhetoric

    I don’t want to hear about the blood that’s gone bad anymore

    I don’t care if you think vaccines are evil

    But it’s fucking everywhere

    Sitting there

    And I block and remove things from my timeline and what have you but what about the people who don’t?

    What about the people that don’t know better?

    The apparently millions of them?

    One step further into the cult

    I don’t believe in anything but freedom and yet they say they’re the ones championing it while screaming to remove the rights of others

    Limit others somehow

    What is the point of it?

    My freedom ends where another living being’s begin

    What is so hard about that?

    I don’t need this hammering of garbage

    I’d rather go without it

    So naturally I’ve been doing everything else

    But sometimes I go back for a moment

    My follows, entirely left leaning people

    Versus the just tonnes of crap

    “Biological sex” bull shit

    Vaccine bullshit

    Just stupid things I don’t care for

    I have games to play

    Well

    My fingers ache

    Winter must be slinking in

    The keyboard is having trouble reading my fingers

    But my point is social media is just trash

    I’m so over it

  • Frankly vicious

    The darker side of me

    Hates everyone and everything

    Save a few special people

    The numbers of whom dwindling by the year

    I am at my most wild right now

    There is so much being demanded of me daily from all around

    Forms to be filled out

    Papers to sign

    Boxes to fill

    It’s so overwhelming right now that meeting my basic needs feels like a chore of demands

    I don’t want to do the dishes in order to get breakfast

    I just want breakfast

    And the chores all around me

    Do this

    This and this

    We don’t hate the fancy monkeys

    What a thing to call humans

    Christ

    We just can’t handle any more demand for anything right now

    I feel like I’m constantly working on filling demands

    It’s exhausting

    You’re kind of a prick, you know that?

    You do know that

    Ah, well

    I don’t know how to embrace something so prickly

    We’re polar opposites

    Me and you

    Me and me two

    I believe he hates them because he’s supremely disappointed in them

    The same reason I love them

    It feels like we’re on opposite sides of the glass

    I’m afraid to try to break through

    Would he consume me?

    Compartmentalized brain

    Same space

    Different times

    An old defense mechanism?

    It’s lost in the timeless memories that never return but for fleeting moments

    Where we live them like a dream

    Afraid to sully them

    They come, uncalled

    At the strangest moments

    When did it happen?

    Was it when I touched the stars?

    The heat fused us together?

    You were a thought

    Well I thought you were

    But thoughts come alive in this fifth dimension of my mind

    I suppose I created something stronger than me

    Just teetering on sanity

    Always so angry

    It’s all from inside but it ends up outside

    Where do I go when I go and he’s writing angry letters into the void?

    Do we imagine a soft resting place within for eachother?

    I am the Moon

    Light and Dark

    When you see his face you don’t see any face

    How fitting

    They wouldn’t recognise it from inches away

    As if he’s not even there

    There nonetheless

    I’m not coming in apologising for his words anymore it’s expected and I hate being expected

    I tire

    Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do

    Just persevere

  • When I feel like people are demanding something from me

    I automatically want to stop doing anything related to their demands

    Why Hermes brings me these people who just

    Act like they own part of me

    I love most people, but I don’t even have enough for myself

    Of me

    Extra steps and pressure

    But I’m a chicken shit

    I just am

    Humans scare me

    Their potential for harm

    I’d rather people treat me like the feral thing I am stuck in society by chains of the damned

    I try to relate

    But I can’t

    I’m some other type of thing

    I can’t meet the wants of others

    I need stress free interactions

    For the love of god

    I’m so stressed already

    My life is imploding

    Please tell me one of these fancy monkeys can talk to me without demanding from me

    What did you think it was the nice one talking?

    Nope, gone, quite often these days

    Gentle beings can’t handle rough circumstances

    At least not this one

    Best to seal the people pleaser away

    We’re not here to take care of anyone but us right now

    Life is hard enough

    The Rabbit doesn’t need this crap

  • I’m supposed to read one of my poems aloud

    I want to

    But the day slipped away

    Maybe I’ll just hum Inu Yasha themes into Tik Tok

    I am afraid to put my voice out there

    Even in private conversation with people I know and trust I don’t feel comfortable doing vocal interaction online

    Who knows why this is

    Maybe it’s just a general distrust

    I rarely make videos with me talking and when I do I’m nervous as hell

    I hate my voice

    I imagine it to be grating on other people

    The couple videos I did singing were supposed to be something but they never were

    There’s videos of me singing random Japanese songs on YouTube somewhere I’m sure

    I used to be much for open with it

    I don’t know what I’m hung up on

    It would only take a second but apparently my executive disfunction has picked this

    What would it mean to read it out how it was mean to be heard?

    My bouncing from subject to subject

    Ever trapped in intertextuality

    It’s hard to believe that this trove of words has any worth

    I wrote it

    And its initial intented recipient never even read a word

    How can there be value where he found none?

    The hummingbird wants to know why I place worth in what he finds value in

    It’s a fair question

    I don’t know the answer

    When the question is asked

    As it is I turn back

    Just for a moment

    But it’s short lived, isn’t it?

    A glance and then it slips back into place

    Can I leave bare the intended reading?

    Seeking solace in devices as usual

    I don’t know if my voice is worthy of being heard

    It hardly is ever heard

    Isn’t that by design?

    Shouldn’t I be silent in my corner?

    Never growing out into their precious space

    All the space around me

    In this form I don’t fit within

    Is this the place I’m meant to be?

    Well, I suppose not, I’m moving in 4 months and 2 weeks.

    I should start packing but I’m paralyzed by fear

    I don’t know

    I should do it

    Read the poem

    What else is my useless Instagram for?

    I need to find ways to be accessible

    Unfortunately poetry is the nichest thing I could have picked

    But what would be the video?

    Not me

    God no

    Perish the thought

    And I don’t have much to film

    Take video of

    I have nothing to 撃う

    I picked that kanji by reading not the actual kanji but the vibe of it

    God I’m strange

    I want to be fascinating

    It just ended up happening in a weird way

    Okay

    I will make the video

    I will

    Just not today

    I’m always missing the timing of my crash from work

    I’m exhausted even though I slept

    How does one create the future?

    I imagine a world where everyone eats

    Sleeps somewhere warm

    Gets to indulge in activities that fascinate them

    Where everyone contributes what they can and not what is demanded of them

    But reality doesn’t look anything like that

    I’ll try

    I just have to get over myself first
