thoughts (Remove filter)
I have chosen a way to cry
Slowly slowly,
A cynical way of crying calls for silence.
Tears become unconventional objects
that could be wiped off from my cheeks
and wiped back on clothes,
until the wet leaves no mark of existence.
Hush-hush,
The pain would go away
and vanish with no trace,
as though it is meant to remain unknown.
By then, all will be well, and the scars shall

Idle Thoughts
Life
Life's great ambition
Is merely
To survive itself
Society
I am not
what I am
So I am
what I'm not
Former land of the free
Every great civilisation

…Until it's broken

Why?
Just leave me alone and let me find peace
I don't want to hurt

The voices, the demons I...

The Mists of Being
Walking to the station lost in thoughts.
A useless collection of ideas and emotions swirl around me,
and I gradually tune out even those.
Leaving a vague existence between aware and asleep.
Time and life drift by and it’s a comfortable place.
Easy

Too Easy.
Arriving at a destination without knowing anything of the time in-between.
