Phantom Self
Did it take place all at once?
Or gradually did I digress to such an existence
Who is the “I” that I refer to as myself
When I’m lost for knowing who I am
Waking up resigned to a life of involuntary becoming
Or so it would seem
Desires creep in like snakes through whispers
I feel imposter to myself and yet self feels just as fraudulent
When the concept of how I define self is an anchor to ideal
Yet what is ideal but illusion apart from something concrete
Is it safe to talk to myself when I’m told not to talk to strangers? ...

Oyster Card.
You're late.
At the sound of your speedy heart,you race toward the bus stop.
You dodge between the slow movement of the weary looking faces,of the people in the bus stop queue.
Yes! You made it. But not one for pushing in,you dutifully slide into the bus stop queue.
Whilst waiting,a melody encapsulates your mind.
You begin 2 whistle the melody out loud.
It must have brought luck,for the bus arrives!
Gliding onto the bus,very much crowded bus, and eerily quiet,at that. You remove your rucksack from your back,and with pristine ease,take out your "Oyster...

Sycophants & Zealots (of the Raging-Rapids, Lazy-River Ride)
You scream and cry; Over imaginary lies;
Permanently severing; All friendly ties
Chant and kill, losing; Personal identity
Charge and trample in; True barbarity
Listen to an evil con; In all his global chiffon
Say and spray your bullshit ideas; Provided verbal diarrheas
Where is your humanity; Where is your empathy
Here is your global quest; There is only acquiesce
Your inferiority is; Common but astounding
Hatred and ignorance; Just compounding
Refuse to listen to reason; While swearing to commit treason
When the law comes for you; The...

A Lifetime of Lies vs. A Moment of Truth
The whys are not the reasons of the moment
But the compounding lies that add up to its truth
As perceptions narrow and everything is filtered through tunnels
With no light at the end, just one more shot in the dark
When the entrapment of discontentment becomes a weight far too heavy to bear
And bullets beckon to transcend the whispers that scream inside
The will to die didn’t start at the point of a last breath quantified
But all the little ways we go through life and gradually commit suicide
When it harbors more appeal to give...
But the compounding lies that add up to its truth
As perceptions narrow and everything is filtered through tunnels
With no light at the end, just one more shot in the dark
When the entrapment of discontentment becomes a weight far too heavy to bear
And bullets beckon to transcend the whispers that scream inside
The will to die didn’t start at the point of a last breath quantified
But all the little ways we go through life and gradually commit suicide

(Anime Eyes, I've Got) The Bistro Blues
I stand here at attention, this silence, stifling,
Waiting for the action, my nerves, baffling
Waiting to serve the batches, tiring,
Of cold and hot sandwiches, brain ruminating.
I ache, 'cause I see you working there,
Seeming too cool to have a care,
Flipping out of you face, your lovely hair,
We're both shy, but you've got this flair
Oh, Anime Eyes, I've got the bistro blues,
Seeing you through all the rosy hues,
I wish I could squeeze you in a big hug,
But it seems this anxiety hole, I've...

It's So Hard to Talk to You
My mind spins, and spins, like a wheel,
My pen strikes paper like flint and steel,
Casting off sparks, but lighting no flame,
Trying to write words that don't feel lame,
Trying to write lines that stick,
It's not an easy trick,
Trying to properly describe how I feel,
Leaving my head to reel,
Nothing seems quite exquisite enough,
Nothing quite descriptive enough,
To get across the way I see you,
The rose colored tint through which I see you.
In the dark of the night,
I draw slivers of glowing light,
As I put pen to paper, ...

Coastal Clouds
i often think to myself on why is love so painful, why waste breath on it? like I don't get it, I wasted my breath on you, i was loyal to you even you weren't mine. its like I was destined for my own downfall for falling in love with you, because it doesnt make sense because we clicked so much and we were so alike, we were close, you trusted me with your body. you trusted me with your mind and your heart and i gave you mine, but it was all a sham, because you thought i was gonna play you, but you played yourself because i never planned on playing you. now. im sitting up above the coastal...

The Kiss 2
Yet here i sit again.
Dwelling on my sin.
The wanting and wishing.
Another woman has seized my heart by laying her lips upon mine.
I am mentally defunct.
All i can say is W.T.F?
I should fear all women for they have so much more power over man.
It doesn't have to be sex or even a kiss.
It can be by just a simple finger touching skin.
I just can't believe it.
I don't want to believe it.
Everything falling apart at the seams.
I just can't believe she's shattering my heart to pieces.
Is there one fucking woman on this earth that...

The Weather
There is something comforting about the rain
Dark skies and heavy drops
Thunder claps and lightning strikes
I can’t breath
There is something comforting about the ocean
During a storm
When the seas are ferocious and deadly
When the waves could swallow entire ships whole
I’m suffocating
There is something comforting about the soft taps of the trees
Against windows and doors and the sides of houses
While the wind tears through at breakneck...
Dark skies and heavy drops

I Know; The Answers That Never Get Questioned
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I know that I'm wrong and I know what I did wrong but I just didn't get it at the time.
I don't care that you're right, I'm not jealous or petty of knowledge, I'm just fucking pissed that I don't get it.
I'm sorry.
I know children are sponges but why can't I be one too?
I know that the universe is full of knowledge but why can't I learn some too?
I know that there are billions of books to read but why can't I read one page?
I know humans have an innate need to interact and communicate but why can't I do so without feeling...
I'm so sorry.

Current Mood Swings
What are you doing?
You’re enjoying yourself?
Why?
What’s going on?
You finished just – ago and now you’re almost normal. What’s up with that?
You went through totally-messed-up to nothing and nor you’re neutral.
Are you feeling okay?
I’m not sure. Yesterday I was blank and the day before I was so full my head wanted to explode with emotion and now I’m indifferent. I’m just me. I’m not stressed or pressured or affected.
The effect of the veil of stupidity has worn off and while I’m no smarter without it on, I’m less blind to idiocracy. I’m not...
