Wine Drunk - Tumblr Posts
Identify theft is not a joke Jim 🖤
I have tried to create everything
And in so doing
Lost everything.
Filled with hate
Filled with anger
I have burned most things I have hoped for.
Life is cruel
And we are its saving grace.
I look to a future beyond us all
Far beyond the last human breath.
A time in which a soul breathes
And dreams of worlds
In which all souls live.
I despise the flesh
And worship its needs.
I love the world
And hates its ways.
Humanity dances and loses sight of the dance.
I hold a dream
In which the imagination reigns free.
People are born by time
I hope this changes one day.
Without time nothing matters
And in such a state
We are made free.
If nothing matters
We can do anything.
What we settle on
In eternity
Is a surprise to those who do.
In youth we burn down the world
In age we seek a simple rest.
I have hated and I have loved.
I have wept over us all
And lavished upon my own greed.
Life has no directed meaning.
Life has no dirceted purpose.
Yet I have believed
I have lived
And I have died.
I cling to a hope
In which the individual is made free.
I see beyond this moment.
I am lost in my own fantasies.
I live a thousand lives
And die a thousand deaths.
I believe in our imagination.
I live for my own creativity.
Life means more than someone over another;
I despise when someone stands up.
Take away conscious thought.
Take away present awareness.
Remove the self within the community
And you have the life of one who sees clearly.
It cannot last
Doomed to fail
But in that moment
Clarity shines.
God upon the mount;
Messiah upon the alter;
Understanding of what is
You value all as your own momentary breath.
Then you weep tears
Over your own corpse,
And in that corpse
All living resides.
I cry because the world hates
I cry because I hate.
When I was 11
I sat down and tried to fix the world.
I didn't know what was wrong
And now I am sad
That I tried to understand good and evil.
Pain resonates throughout existence
And it breaks my heart.
Oppression demands its stay in the sun
Incapable of understanding its own nature.
Rivers of tears fill heaven's throne
And no one sits there
To comprehend it's source.
I walk up
Ignorant and prideful
Unaware of all that is
And believe it is a simple fix.
I lay down some commandments.
I see they do not work.
I amend a few things
Add a few things
See it doesn't work.
I mold and meld
Strive and claim
It all falls apart
I can't understand.
Nothing I do
Fixes the world.
The world doesn't need me
I'm part of the problem.
It all comes crashing down,
New stuff rises up.
Time flows on
Humanity is forgotten.
Life
It lives
And I lose track of it.
I see my own frailty
And start to wonder at my own demense.
I will die
And I will live
Not by cosmic judgement
But by my own condemnation.
I hate myself
And I love myself.
I cannot comprehend me.
In me is everyone,
And in everyone is me.
Only I can save my own soul
For only I can forgive me
Of the crimes against myself.
I draw to an end
What can be said
That has not been said in every generation.
Life ends.
Our works end.
All we do
Stands in account against ourselves.
Only what we hope can see us through
Can speak in defense of what we do.
How short it falls
When weighed against the rest
I weep bitter tears into the night
A rabid dog
Unaware of its own condition.
No one can save us
As we cannot forgive ourselves.
Blood and rage
Judgement against ourselves.
I linger on
Unwilling to let go.
A desperate thought
Unfinished
Unrefined.
I want more
I need more
I break down
Like a child before god.
I don't have any answers.
I don't know what to do.
All I know
Is this isn't right.
All the tears.
All the pain.
All the wishing
And praying
And hoping for better days.
I was a child once
And I had dreams.
Life hurt me
And I had done nothing wrong.
"why do you hurt me?"
I asked God above.
"what did I do to you
While in my mother's womb?"
So I fought god
And cast it down
Only to find myself
Sitting in the guilty seat.
A proper ending never comes.
A poignant closing statement
Alludes the purest of our spirits.
I am filled with rage
With which I know not what to do.
A cauldron of indecision
Desperately trying to escape.
Living breath to breath
Moment to moment
Nothing more than the soul beside me;
Nothing more
Than the countless souls before me.
Untold of lines stretch out in front
Weaving new stories
And more stories of the same.
I cannot reach them
Beyond this moment now.
I am bound
As they are bound
As you are bound before me now
Who can say
Who we will be a day from now.
Before ourselves
We have yet to find ourselves.
A lost dream.
A sullen cause.
A hope beyond all hope
A person in life.
Only we can defend our names.
Only we can defend our purpose.
Nothing can protect us
Not the stars or moon or god.
We alone can speak up at our trial
And try to understand what we have done.
For it is not a trial before our peers
As it is a judgement before ourselves
As weighed upon our many lives
Stretching across
Vast eternity.
- myself, previously known as Andrew, still trying decide who I am now and have been
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.
I wanted to be a savior
But what does that even mean?
Who has the right?
My arrogance has known no bounds.
My momma raised me blessedly
And yet I have found myself lacking.
I saw the world through a certain lense
Fractured
But more idealized than is real.
I sat on God's throne
Loved and hated
Saw my own hypocrisy
And here I am.
Who deserves to stand over another?
Who deserves to look down and see someone else?
It is its own crime;
Who is able to defend it?
I have hated
Yes
I have loved.
Seen my own soul
And wondered at the world.
No one is good
And no one is evil.
More often than not
Whoever claims one is wrong.
I have seen my own sin.
Been so crushed by it
I was willing to kill myself.
To die
To be sacrificed;
To find myself upon my own alter
Because I could not deal with my own guilt.
But this too was for me.
A selfish act designed to make me feel special.
All I have loved is me
And because of this
I can't forget the world.
If I exist
So must everyone else.
If I gave a right to be
Then so do all the others.
My mother taught me this
But in this world
I have not seen it.
Only in that which I imagine can it be
While in my day to day
Violence reigns over all.
Because of this I hate
Yet still I crave its destruction.
The bloodrhirst of God
That has defined all my days.
Ever since that bastard first came into my room
God of all creation
A shadow on my wall.
My own darkness
Masquerading as light
Preaching from their pullpits
A lie who spreads the truth.
I am a convoluted thought;
A twisted notion of what is right.
Equal parts saving
As I am killing everyone.
A monstrous thing to say.
If only everyone could be so honest.
How many would gladly end all the noise
If only they could sleep soundly.
This is all for me.
I don't do it for anyone.
In privacy I belong to the masses
But her I say what I will.
I have hungered
And fed.
Gluttoned on reality.
I would devour all that is
Of only to create
A new world for myself.
I am all that is.
All that can be known.
For only I am me
And only myself can I understand.
This is what I hope for all.
That they be free to live and die.
All eternity
Stretched for them.
Infinite layers
Of their own psyche.
I can't adequately explain it.
We have auto text now.
Daily we become more like God
Ever unraveling
The very notion of what God is.
Turns out
God was never more than us
And we were never more than them
Deafened by the noise;
A fool trying to answer life.
This is all I know;
That I am nothing,
But only as I compare
Myself to all others.
So live
Breath
Drink and have sex.
Who will judge you but yourself,
It is actually easy
To convict god in his own court of law.
I have done it.
You will do it.
God so hated themself that they blotted out their soul.
Burn it.
Burn the image.
All that is sacred is you.
Everything else is coming down,
Save your own soul
In what ever form that means.
We are all children
Before god's world breaks us.
Will you damn a child?
Can you condemn such sin?
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 have been judged for being me
And so have judged others.
This guilt has driven me to madness
Which is itself a struggle of accepting myself.
People deserve to love what they love.
To enjoy the things that make them feel.
I have related to many things
Some of which are piss poor
While others are too exalted.
The truth is I just want to exist.
To be free in being who I am
Without feeling the need to judge who I am.
I am beautiful
A darling who dances freely.
Fearing my own judgement
Through the eyes of others
Has caused me great pain.
Learning to forgive myself
For being myself
Is the hardest journey yet.
Reality has never met my standards.
Better yet
I have never risen to its level.
My dreams are confessions.
My words
Solemn testimony.
I know this isn't any good
I'm not writing it to win any awards.
This is how I deal with who I am
And steadily grow
Into the person I secretly dream or being.
For love of me
This is why I live.
Ever hoping to accept myself
Without worry for those
Who are not me.
Who am I to be asked for advice?
My life hasn't gone as planned?
Hasn't developed according to normal standards.
I am a beast
A monster
A free floating child
Trying to find their way
Across the cosmos or terror.
My friend's heart.
My friends' laugh.
Do I have a say in such things?
No.
As much as I might have hoped
Each person is in charge of their own life.
They breath
Pray
And lust according to their own needs
Fantasies
Hopes and desires.
I myself am free from others
And am twisted up
Just like everyone else.
No one can tell us who we are.
Only we
Can create our own reality.
In the end
All life ends in death.
Trying to make a standard by which we live
Is nothing but a vicious lie.
One intended to force us in to the status quo.
Be free.
Which only means
Existing as your heart wants to.
Don't be controlled.
Don't be rulled.
Don't be the property of others.
You matter beyond what your days might register
You are the sole meaning
Of your own years.
We are all but pawns in your own dream.
So live
Live deeply
And just sow what brings you peace.
One day
If we all pray
Everyone will understand.
Then each person will be free
And we won't have to worry
How others react
To our existing.
When I was young
I thought I understood life's problems.
I wasn't very right.
In fact
It was far more serious
Than a twelve year old could have imagined.
Back then
It was as simple as having a friend
Something
I myself did not even fully realize.
As I look to the stars
I wonder about each person
And consider the life they would live
Without any consideration
For the world that is.
Free to developed from innocent child
Into innocent adult
Never having hated.
I wonder about the potential of people
Without this world.
A pessimist I might be
But for the matters of the true self
I remain an optimist.
I am better than I once was
If not as good as I was when first born.
Are any of us free.
How much or our lives are due
To the forces of our lives
Which are in turn dependent on others
Trailing backwards through time
Till there is nothing left
But for that first breath
The beginning of all creation.
Would you blame a new born child for everything?
A new life
For the cruelty that could comes from circumstances?
Humanity deserves better than reality.
You
Deserve better than humanity.
Stellar freedom.
I believe there is a dream
That each of us hold.
It is destroyed as we age
As we interact with the world
A dream that is free of expectation
Of interpretation.
A child's dream
Without conditioning
Or complication
In which that person is free to just breathe
Soaring throughout the skies
Without worry or fear.
Able to live as any animal
To play any game.
Unaware of hate
Or malice
Or need to impress a parent who themselves is broken.
Unbound by reality
And able to do anything their imagination let's them.
Adulthood destroys lives.
This is the greatest crime I can imagine.
Broken souls are them dependent upon
To mature those who come after.
How can this ever be right?
I wish for everyone
A child's life.
Every ambition an infant has
Unable to understand
The dispair of all adult lives.
I am about to begin
A great deal of change.
A new life
A new form
A new soul?
I have been at war with who I am
Since I first began to wonder.
Back to the age of "is this a dream"
And the agony of puberty.
Worshiping love
Longing to meet
That soul who can help me be free.
I can't even set my own path
Only go forward
Hoping these are the steps I am meant to take.
Can any one walk with me?
It has been hard enough for me
Who could I expect to join me
In my crusade against the order of this world?
I hate
Yes
Deeply.
I despise
Rage
And long to see things fall.
Why?
Because I believe in my own value
And this value
I correlate to the value of living
Thinking being
You
Me
The people who walk beside us
Every last mind
Who doesn't know what the hell is going on.
Humans
Just trying to make it through.
It is not easy
Nor can it be.
This is the cost of living.
The price of being in charge
Of our own momentary actions.
God in the world of gods.
Desiring life
Without consequence.
Will you join me?
The fire spoke to me when I was young
And after it the darkness.
This all corresponding to god
Who came to me in the night
Dementing me
Twisting me
Turning me inside out with need
Want
Yearning.
Will you join me?
Hatred
Anger
Aggression
Rage
Wrath
An unwillingness to submit.
Will you join me?
Is the world you live in worth dying for?
Is burning it down worth it?
I resent being bound
This flesh
This mortality.
Let's kill it
Kill it and no longer think about it
Relish in its blood
Drinking deep
Losing our minds.
Will you join me
And in the new world
Determine your own breath?
I do not know who I am
Though this is not entirely true.
I have loved my whole life
Trying to be a living sacrifice.
To put myself to death
For this is what God demanded.
But who was God when I was dead.
I still spell it with a lower case
As autocorrect translates it to my childhood norm.
I hate God.
Not for the reasons you think.
I hate God
Because I have been God
Climbed the steps
Raised the flag
Looked down on the whole of creation
And wondered.
Here I am again.
Can't help but sound arrogant.
Comes with the territory
A sin not to admit it.
This is what i have learned.
When you sit above all else alse
Nothing matters
Nothing at all
I have tried my damnedest
To be more than my body.
To be more than the best and worst of my flesh.
I have thrown myself before the throne.
Condemned myself to hell.
Offered every last parcel of my soul
And still no one above had answered me.
Only my own voice
Offering no salvation.
"hold the course
Give up to death"
Well damn heaven
Damn hell
There is only this earth
And not in the sense of non-belief.
Goddamn it
You matter!
I matter!
We all fucking deserve better!
No one has sat above
And thought we should try harder.
This life is cruel
And those who are human
Understand what it means to be sad.
Still
How many feel a need to be resilient?
To overcome
This unending dread which pushes us.
We need to overcome
Those words we tell ourselves.
The constant accolades
And condemnations of our pride.
I hate me
And yet I love me
Because I am both the cause and the result
Of this world I am born in to.
It is impossible to appoint blame
Unless you trace it back to God.
Either God was a fool
Or a calculating demon.
I can forgive the fool
But not the one who planes to cause pain.
Many recoil from accusing God.
It is in our nature
Yet we are summoned to be bold
To throw our accusations in their face.
For what sin has been so great?
What absolute wickedness have we committed
In order to deserve this world!
God is a fool
Just like us
For we are God in the future
Creating our past.
Blasphemy
Blasphemy
But I have been God. I have climbed those steps
Sat upon that throne.
Cast my soul to eternal damnation
For this is the cost of being absolute.
And it was worth it
Of I could bring just one smile.
If I could heal one broken soul
And right one crooked wrong.
I began evil
And I aspired for good.
I instigated selfishness
And yes prayed my all for kindness.
I am a fool
I am a lost cause
But I have loved
And been willing to face hell.
This is what God's love is
That they are willing to face hell
For all time
That they might see their loved ones bloom
And through eternity
Do better than ourselves.
Now I try to live a normal life.
Free of my own harsh directives.
You don't need me
And I don't need you
But we need each other
In spite of our own damn pride.
I hate you
And you hate me.
The world spins
In order to turn us against one another.
All we can do
Is understand how evil we ourselves are
And then find a way to see ourselves in the seat of evil.
There is an eye for an eye
And a bone for a bone.
A judgement for how we judge
And an answer for all the pain.
It is cruel to imagine it forever
As this annihilates forgiveness
But in forgiveness there is a path
And this path charts its way through timeslessness.
Everyone is the product of someone else,
And this itself traces itself back to God.
If God is willing to die
How much more so
In the time of eternity
We are able to let go
Those who do not deserve our forgiveness.
We will sail past those unworthy of us
And they will traverse the wake
Hoping to live beyond their evil.
It is not justice.
Justice
As prescribed by God
Leaves us all damned.
Even God cannot escape
For God set it in motion.
Why do I mention God so much?
Because God is at the root of all that we do.
Theist and atheist
Both harbor accusations.
Each of us have been tortured by the beyond.
So we look to the heavens
And no longer depend upon the almighty.
We and we alone are real
Only we can forgive ourselves.
The truth
Most of my life
The majority
The public visage
And the internal prayer
Has been a lie.
I can't explain it.
Even for me
I was never able to see.
I live
I acted
I instigated.
Everything I have done
Has been to blend in.
I hate the world.
Not the people
But the system.
The system that I felt bound to
And had me grow up
As some one I am not.
I want my years back.
I want my life back!
All I have are the days before me
And the day I am currently owning.
All I want is to be me.
To be free of the bullshit life he as given me.
I do not want to be someone else
I do not want to be perfect in the eyes of the Lord.
I belong to my own soul
And if God cannot except this
Then fuck God
For God is smaller than me.
I will be damned before I lie!
Before I pretend to
be someone else.
I should say
Continue to pretend
As my life has been a charade
Meant even to deceive me.
Argue
Hate
Damn
I do not give a fuck.
Be what ever life I wish
It doesn't matter to me.
However
You will not be my lord.
You will not be my God.
I live
I breath
And either you damned me from the start
Or you are just as guilt as me.
I am angry
I am sorry
I am filled with unrequited rage!
I bleed tears
I deluge hurt
I am tired of dying
I want to live for once!
Who are you to damn me?
What gives you the right?
Did you even create me?
Have I not written
That I am you?
Are we then to submit
One to the other?
If I am damned then so are you.
If I am saved
Then you are going with me.
Mutually assured destruction;
Salvation is us both.
I will be me
Will you admit to your own soul?
I am tired of trying to make sense of it
I am tired of feeling guilt.
I am who I am
And you are nothing to me.
No one will be my god
No one but me.
I am alive
And I pray
Who answers these prayers
Is between me and them...
I find myself wondering
How good of a person am I?
For those tempted to reassure me
Shut up.
In all honesty
I know I am not as bad as I would like to think.
On the other hand
I'm not very good.
I lust and hate
Not sins
Cheat myself and others.
I want more
Always more.
I am never satisfied
My imagination runs too wild.
I wanted god's throne
And took it
Even as I denied wanting it.
I wanted the world
And took it
Even while spilling rivers of blood.
I am lost in mythology;
Obscured by religion.
I am prideful above all else
And overwhelmed with shame.
I do not write for the masses.
As much as I might want to.
I write because I'm empty inside
And hope I can fill my void.
Even now
I have lost the purpose for my being here.
So many things;
I will never share with you.
I am angry
Wrathful towards mortality.
I loathe my own weakness
And rage against these constraints.
I resent reality's failure
To keep up with my imagination.
I want life to match my dreams
Whatever the cost.
Yet I am flesh
And I am not entirely able to forget it.
So I weave back down
And try to touch my own existence.
Here people are alive
Demons rule
Gods wear masks of piety.
Civilization breeds slaves
And I understand how strong that word is.
People live their lives in service to others.
They are given enough to subsist
But are never allowed to excel.
Their bounds are marked
Their lives designed.
We were thankful for what we are givin
And are incapable of seeking more
Though we may dream
We do not believe.
Though we hope
We dare not sure to seek.
Our world is manufactured against us
And we cannot find our way out.
Our gods are wicked.
They are the ones who live on high.
Those we envy
And look to for hope
Revile
And pray ill on.
This is our world;
Our reality.
We are in fact slaves
And we would kill each other first
Before those who keep us here.
I once believed we could rise up.
Now
I think part of us will always fight
To keep others down.
Too long in the mires of lost gods
To be able to put our species first.
This are we doomed,
Damned to die because we cannot move past.
Bound to...
What do I call it?
Such stupidity as to make me wish we would all die.
At least then there would be quiet.
All the arguing
Hating
Damning and persecuting.
All the aspects of our species
Put to death
And life allowed to continue.
No more awareness.
No more consciousness.
Only the blissful ignorance
Of existence just existing.
Then again
I don't know how to give up
And so I keep on hoping
Even against hope.
I want to be loved.
Maybe this is a weak statement
But I can't help it.
I have never been touched.
Desired for my soul.
No one wanted me
But then again
I could never love myself.
For all my ego
For all my worship at the alter of myself
I still could not understand
How someone could want me.
I was a lie
And didn't even know it.
A lost little child
So repressed
I couldn't even see my own reflection.
Now I am trying to get back to me;
The honest self
Free from every last goddamn thing.
Just me
That little girl
Who never had a chance
To dress up pretty
Or just be herself.
I want more than what I have been given;
More than what I have allowed myself.
A long road walk
But I am here when it is done.
So I leave
And breathe
Put on make-up and get dressed up.
Make my day to day worth living
And in so doing
Figure out
What life's about.
So love me
Hate me
Fuck me
Ignore me.
I can't make sense of anything;
I'm making it all up
As I go.
Exist
As I want to exist.
All we have are ourselves.
Are you really going to listen to me?
When God was young
God believed people should be put to death for lusting
Or having sex out of wedlock.
God didn't know better
And it is wrong to assume they cannot change.
You are raised to believe that God is perfect
But perfect isn't real.
You are raised to believe that God is all knowing
But that is a boring way of life.
God is ignorant
And blind
Just like us.
To be otherwise
Is to have no reason to exist.
So God fumbles
And grows
Changes their mind.
Realises they are wrong
And still justified.
We need God to be more than us
But how unfair.
If we are not perfect
Than neither should God be.
God just had a fancy for creativity.
After all
Nothing created them
How much worse is that
Than a parent who just wanted to love?
I can't explain everything in me.
There is a lot I wish I could say.
I talk about God alot
Because that is been a consistent theme in my life.
Not in the way most humans know them
But in my own most twisted way.
.
God and I are troubled.
Needed to get our fix
And so all this.
Somehow I am here
While my lover is not.
The division between us is an arbitrary line.
What rules we make up
We take as much pleasure in breaking
As we do in upholding.
This is what I want for everyone ;
The right to do fuck all
God and I be damned.
I live for the law of consent
This is my only course.
I hate masters and lords
All that is
Is you.
.
Creation is nothing.
You
You right now is all that matters.
Pray if you must
But know
You and God are one.
This is what people fear.
What countless generations of humanity have been too scared to admit.
Everything you do
Is the will of God.
Name an action
God has done it.
Read your scriptures
God is just trying to live.
.
My blasphemies are methodical.
My antics planned.
Treachery is a strong word
When the whole point is for you to be free.
I speak of your freedom
Because I have known little.
Though I do what I want
What I want is bound to duty.
Rage
Cuss
Accuse god
This is what the scriptures teach.
Those who argue are the ones God listens to;
Be willing to face eternal damnation
And God will honor your request.
Disagree we me
It doesn't matter.
Love on your knees
But such only produces such.
God responds to ultimate passion.
The willingness to die.
It is the foreign concept
God themself is pursuing.
Only in willing death can they understand
So this is the language you must speak
Of you want God to understand you.
.
I have waged war.
Risen
Fallen
Gone the rounds and come back.
I write because I don't know what else to do.
Live for you.
Sinful
Selfish
Selfless capable.
No one can truly comprehend
Any action you undertake.
People invent morality
Just like God.
Each invents what is right
And by this do we live.
Too many fall short
Fearing going too far.
What evil has been committed
Trying to honor the supposed will of God.
.
Walking with God is more personal than people realise.
It is more than just bowing down.
Look and understand
God only responds to those who fight them.
Make God believe.
Make them see.
Passionately defend the helpless;
Fight for those who have not defender.
Rage
Rage against what God thinks is right.
Without you
Nothing is known;
It is on you
To educate eternity.
.
I know none of those is important.
Who honestly believes.
I have lived my entire life
Trying to understand.
I have been pure
I have been sinful.
I have done everything
Hope to get god's attention.
In the end
I had to face my own condemnation.
I live and die
Judging myself
By the state of humanity's quality of life.
.
This is why I say live,
Touch,
Seek to know the fullness of being alive.
Everyone you meet is a part of yourself.
Hate it
Save it
Educate if you can
Damn if you lack the strength.
Ignorance is profound.
Hatred penetrative.
Feast on the flesh of those who will not learn;
Break those who will not change.
.
This is how I live.
This is how I teach.
All I want is for you to do the same
And in so doing
Understand the stars.
.
Create
Destroy
Nothing matters but you.
Live as you will;
Silence that which you hate.
Its been a minute.
Don't really know how to describe it all.
The changes
The hopes
The tears and the fears.
Each day I read about death
And wonder at my own demise.
I long for life
But do not always know how to touch it.
I do what I can in the moment
In order to keep on living.
.
I am loved.
This much I know.
I have been supported from those who mean the world
And in this I find strength.
I still lack understanding
Or the courage to seek love
But I am here
Alive
And knowing one way or another
I am going to make it over this horizon.
.
There have been ups and downs.
Answered prayers and rage.
The world spins on
And nothing truly changes.
I dream of better futures.
Plan for world's unknown.
My ambition touches stars
And everyone's faces touch my own.
I love because I know it is beautiful.
I keep on fighting because that is all there is to do.
I want more
I need more
I hunger and seek my nourishment.
A life of fear is no excuse to keep on running.
I deserve that happiness I have always been deprived.
.
Life is complicated.
Basic drives
But the pathways there
Myriad and winding.
I will keep on going forward
And learn to appreciate
My own innate beauty.
Lost boys on the big screen
I went to see a screening of the lost boys at the cinema and my god was it fun. There were people quoting along, a group of slightly wine drunk ladies at the back kept singing along to the soundtrack and the scenes with Nanook were greeted with audible ‘aws’
As much as I love watching it at home where i can wear pajamas and pause to take a bathroom break, nothing beats watching a film with kids that people that love it as much as you.
