I write I write often Of an ethereal figure He has no name His presence I can’t fathom Only feel Through the words I impart Into the folds of napkins On nights of drunken stupors And banal escapades Riveting in exaggeration Dim bulbs and iridescent neon Grim eyes with hairless brows Fifty kilogram weight on … Continue reading Bedrock’s Testament
Before the End
A sprinkle of black comedy An ounce of fictitious smiles And a smidge of depravity “There he lies” He speaks of death Of pain and purposelessness With such ease “He was important to us” Such reprieve When he laments life Whilst ogling his own demise “He will not be forgotten” It’s pitch black The sun … Continue reading Before the End
Reflecting Here
I haven’t put my thoughts to pen in quite some time. I’ve come to realize that, while I enjoy writing in my free time, it becomes a genuine need in crucial periods of uncertainty and discontent. I won’t go into the nitty gritty details, but this is regarding my ‘work’ and my naivete concerning others. … Continue reading Reflecting Here
Angry Rant: “But that’s the way I FEEL”
This is an angry rant I’ve written because of a few similar experiences I’ve had in the last few months. The acceptance of certain evils is the tolerance of reality, which is less so harmful than clutching onto ideals that produce worse-off results. I laugh uncontrollably at the worst things, not because I find them … Continue reading Angry Rant: “But that’s the way I FEEL”
Dissonance

My Ideal Life
There are days in which I’d like to sit alone, with my cigars and a bottle of whiskey. I’d like to sleep and dream without any worries in the world. But I know it’ll never be the case. With each passing day, I see more and more rags and wrinkles and sun spots and flubber … Continue reading My Ideal Life
‘Convenient’ Friendships
There are times in which I question my relationships to the extent wherein which I render myself incapable of decision. Decision, you ask? As to whether or not my friendships are formed out of convenience rather than genuine affection/enjoyment. It isn’t just a ‘I have low self-esteem’ sort of determination. It’s more so the case … Continue reading ‘Convenient’ Friendships
Comfort in Falsehoods
My middle sister once told me, “Today, it’s Beat-Your-Brother Day!” So, I let her beat me My oldest sister once told me, “It’ll only be a month, I’ll be back to get you.” So, I waited for as long as I could My mother once told me, “Don’t worry, we’ll save your financial aid for … Continue reading Comfort in Falsehoods
People who follow beliefs without understanding why
What I'm seeing more of nowadays Earlier today, I had an interesting discussion with my roommate about the general ‘whens’ and ‘ifs’ of utilizing conventional derogatory terms. It wasn’t our first time discussing the topic. However, with each one that passes I find ourselves atop the slippery slope of free speech, in which we’re ever … Continue reading People who follow beliefs without understanding why
Manga and Anime helped me get through High School
Manga and anime helped me get through high school (like the title says). There, I said it. I’d like to think that most people had their own problems growing up. Whether it be overwhelming acne or lady troubles or self-esteem or failing grades or hateful parents or being bullied or even a sister who never … Continue reading Manga and Anime helped me get through High School
