I Feel Like I'm Breaking Again

I feel like I'm breaking again

It scares me

My hell fires

Seeping through the cracks

- mine, Andrew

Everyday

I need to apologize for my mental health.

I can't do as much as I once could.

Socializing hurts

And it can take days to recover.

Everyone wants a piece of me;

How do you triage love?

.

I am cruel in my silence,

But ignoring is easier

Than having to explain.

Some can't take no for an answer

And I can only hold out for so long

Before my guilt drives me to consent.

So I shield myself

Trying to keep me safe.

When everyday is a battle to stay alive

Is it evil to prioritize me?

- by me, Andrew

I hope I do not bore you

I know I am long winded.

I have survived my own godhood

Surpassed my wildest expectation

And now stand upon the other side.

Mistake not my words for ego

Something I am surely guilty of

I am not trying to understand

My own mortality.

This is not a statement of finality

Rather

A statement of being here

Now

In this moment of flesh.

Not a sin

As some would count it

But a beautiful representation

Of my own soul

Before myself.

That truth I have loved

That honest answer before myself

Is the beauty of a person

Free

Exalted

Unbound

Just themselves before everything.

I add no law.

I demand no trial.

All I hope in

Is the person who may read this

And that soul who does not.

I am nothing

And you are nothing

And yet between ourselves

Is everything.

You have lived

And you have died

And all that can happen is in your hands.

I chose death

As this was my path

And now survived

I must ask myself what I would will with my freedom.

Since my waking breath

I have only thought of dying;

Laying downy my life for others.

How this has cheated them

Who has as much right now I exist in themselves

As I have in me.

I am flawed

I am broken

I am my own being

Just trying to make it through as myself.

One day

I still hope

Someone will forgive me

But what matters most

Is that I forgive myself

And learn to live

With my own desire.

I have never followed my own teachings

That mountain of literature

I have composed across my years.

Now I am beginning

To listen

Not as a stranger

But as one who ignore themself

And now speaks to themself

I have climbed the throne

Ascended the Mount

Sat down on the seat of one who would be god.

I changed the rules

Condemned myself

And set out a new freedom

Aside from me.

Now I think of opening

Small coffee shops away from sight;

A safe haven for lost souls

Who hate themselves

More than the world that hurt them so.

I have never been free

But now I am trying to be

A lost soul

Who never wanted to be more than others.

Whose ego blinded them

And sought to be exalted.

I am that lost soul

The admittance of which

Is its own pride.

I hope you live well

And sleep even better.

When I was young I hoped you would

And thought I had the answers.

I am no one anymore.

What supriseses me

Is I have even longer to survive.

In all my fantasies

I never imagined I'd make it past my death

Yet here I am

Unable to die.

I am haunted by myself.

Pour myself into this setup.

I can't let go

Even though I know I should.

Healing my own wounds

Is the hardest thing I have ever done

And I trying my hardest

To be human again.

I can't even explain it.

I know it is the wine talking.

Living on auto-correct

Praying it translates me proper.

I hope you will forgive me.

I hope you will sustain me.

I hope one day I can forgive myself

And live as if

Eternity were never created.

It is the abstract paradox

The game we play on ourselves.

I hope one day I understand my own words

And free myself from my own guilt.

I love you

As I could never love myself.

I love in the ways

I have denied to give my own soul.

Show me the mirror;

Teach me my own image.

Forgive me

Hate me

Exist

And so will I.

It is all any of us can hope fore,

The only thing we can believe in.

We will all die

And we will all live.

That is our gift

More than it is our curse.

All that matters is your own place in life.

Not position

But self imposed acceptance.

Learning to love being me

Is more than the ambition I have placed upon myself.

It is opening a coffee shop

And living as if

I only I have tomorrow.

It is harder than it sounds

Harder than I can usually manage.

Substance over form;

Truth over my own beauty.

Love me;

Love yourself.

All that exists

Is you and me.

The rules are made up.

The truth is what we want it.

Flesh will burn

But our souls will continue on.

All we are

Is you right now.

A lost cause

Just trying to let go.

I miss you

I love you

My own flesh and blood.

More than this world;

The very purpose of all living.

Be free;

Be yourself;

Just exist and cease to fret.

All that is is yourself

I am nothing more

Than your own fragment soul.

I am sad

Something feels

Missing...

How do I figure out what?

A lost dream?

A confused fantasy?

I want something more

But I can't define it.

This is the story of my life

The lost child

Aiming to take on God.

No promise of death or life

But the need to question remains the same.

I have never been able to place myself,

And now it has only gotten harder.

I find I am unable to admit

Even to me

What it is that I want.

I have seen everything

Every image of myself

Above and below.

God and the sinner

The devil and the savior.

I have found that righteousness is a point of view

And because of this

Nothing is ever pure.

I broke the law

Spat in its face

Even though

I formed its soul.

These words are nonsensical

I've written long enough to see my own joke.

Still

I can't stop.

Some part of me continues to believe.

I want to be truthful.

I want to stand before myself and not flinch.

My nature has been to run

And this fills me with such guilt.

I once held such lofty ambitions for my soul

But what are these dreams

Given my wickedness?

Pride

Ego

I have worshiped myself

Failing to question my worth.

God is guilty

And I am god.

How far I have come

Since I sat on the Mount.

Writing long poems

Only for myself.

Not oblivious

To my own condescension.

Rambling because I can never tell when to quit.

I live in self hatred;

Dealing

In self doubt.

I wanted all the world to be free

But then aimed for them to be slaves to me.

How do you overcome your own soul?

Your own nature and sprees?

I can't understand it.

I can't even give it a name.

Yet I keep on writing

Crying

As I avoid my own glare.

I hate who I am

Only because it exists in a world with others.

When alone I love myself

Until my own selfishness dawns on me.

I am not all knowing.

I am not perfect.

I am still God

But what does that even mean?

Wrong from the start.

Wicked from my beginning.

A foolish arrogant idiot

Who believes only they know the truth.

All the while evil reigns

Using the same laws

I laid down.

Everything goes up in flames

And I descend through my own guilt.

An unworthty savior

Battling through their own humanity.

Understanding

That people are more worthy of themselves

Than I could ever be.

Figuring out how to exist

After my own decent

I fumble through it all

Stumbling over my own identity.

One day I think I will live,

And it will be after I've laid down my arms.

My own arrogance

My own profered up ego;

My own declared divinity.

It will be beyond my own need be wo shoped;

My own need to be loved by all.

One day I will learn to accept myself

And in that moment

I will be able to understand

How little I actually matter.

The world holds itself accountable.

It doesn't need me.

I was never anything worth thought

And yet I am.

I exist for me.

I am that I am.

I stand before myself

As all of creation stands before its self.

All I want is to live

And for each being to live.

Free of our hate

And free of our need to be right.

Beyond the power or others;

Free from the authority of adjacent souls.

I unbound by antagonistic lives

That obscure our view of infinite dreams.

Eternity is a long time to entertain ourselves

And I cannot be sure where we all are.

If done ever

Who can be sure

All we have is this moment

Ok praying to be alive.

It is more than anyone can actively undertand

Or maybe I am just so small.

All I know is this day to day survival

Battling with hatred and love.

One day I hope for peace

But I cannot be sure.

Faith is a weapon held against those who try

And I am one

Who has yet to figure out how.

So I write long wonder poems

Because I never know when to quit.

This is why death exists

To cut short assholes

Like myself.

I hate my life

And yet I love it.

It exists for me

And I struggle with it.

There is so much injustice I have let slide

Because I was preoccupied with my own aggrendizment.

I failed to see the suffering that exists

While focusing on

The metaphysical of humanity.

I thank you for forgiving me.

For humoring me all the more.

If you pass me over

I understand that too

For it is important to do so.

God never understood the world they created.

It wasn't like them.

I spite of their intentions

Their creation was an accident.

So I am.

A lost soul

Amount lost souls.

A whispering dream

Alone

As each individual is

When facing who they are

Before only themselves

Stretched beyond eternity.

This is my fear

And this is my dream.

My heart can't bear the final words

And so it stretches beyond its own sound advice.

I can't let go.

I refuse to let go.

This is for me

Trying to understand

"why anything?"

I hope you can forgive me.

Who else will save me from hell?

I hope we all make it

When we each can forgive ourselves.

I don't know how to end it.

I don't know how to live it.

I want

I want

I want more than this body can give me.

Forgive me

Forgive me

Please

Person

Individual

Forgive me.

Show me how to be better

A lost soul

Unable to find their way.

I love you all who made it this far.

You are my inspiration;

My reason for maturing as a person.

Love me

Hate me

Teach me how to be me.

A mask made self aware

The last vestige of me own soul.

Dream or yourself

And maybe I will too.

We are each worthy of godhood

As much as anyone ever has been.

Live

Die

Eternity is a long time to exist.

All that matters

Is that you are satisfied when you choose your end

I want it more than anything

A final sleep

And then my peace.

Opening up is a virtual impossibility.

Even when desired

I am incapable of doing so.

The more pressing the question

The more cryptic I become.

I speak in riddles

And try to confuse.

As a serpent I twist myself infinitely

All to avoid lowering my defenses

So expertly crafted over a lifetime.

Utter isolation is my just reward,

One I have worked towards with tears in my eyes.

Self-damned

My word my everlasting law.

- me, my own, andrew-loves

I create pain

Unneccessary pain

Because I can't be honest

Because I can't be honest with myself.

I am not anything

Just a hollowed out body

Unable to decide on life.

I have lived my life as a living suicide.

Day by day

A break away another piece of what makes me human

Till all that is left

Is the death I wait for

At the end of years.

I have worshiped my own vanity

My own pompous self-sacrificing hypocrisy.

I was too afraid to live

And so I chose to die forever
