comfort is the lover of stagnance

and pain is the killer of pains

why, then is the unfamiliar

being so familiarly strange

success is bred from hardships

and the beaten has so much to gain

tell that to all the "people"

who cheat through their domains

you can do the same thing forever

and it will be different each time

because your brain sees your experiences

each time in a different light

what we think is reality
has always been just
chemicals & electrons
in a hollow bone cavity

{nothing really matters if you think about it. life means so much when you're so involved in it but when you change perspectives, the meaning changes as well}

savor the calm before the storm
for the eye leaves room for no appreciation
although it sees from above the clouds
it doesn't allow you to observe these emotions

every moment feels alone, isolated
stripped from the past
and far from the future
floating in an ocean of its own
suspended in time
forever

every moment feels like a blur
sizeless, shapeless, unidentifiably mundane
terrifyingly numerous
strangely one
merging to form the familiar
now

{reality constantly feels simultaneously paused and on infinite speed. the verses are meant to contrast both of these emotions and perceptions of reality}

he knocks lightly as he enters
to reak havoc
invisible but in control
unidentifyable but prominent
gushing into crevice
dominating his domain

{this poem is about [REDACTED], it's supposed to be mysterious, i was experimenting with ambiguity}

she lurks inside my skull

a million miles away

itching, peeling her skin

mauling her nails away

{blue feet, a day we met}
