I'm not scatterbrained. I'm high-bandwidth.
Walking through life is just trading pounds of effort for an ounce of reward. Feels like the universe is short-changing you. Cashing in everything you have and still walking away with pocket lint.
The map to my mind is harder to follow than the one leading my astray.
Some days it feels like that the pursuit of happiness is the very thing that drains all the joy in the first place.
It feels sometimes
like I slip too far away,
into some extreme form
of dissociating.
If I try hard enough,
I can place myself
on a beach—
at first just an outline,
a faint horizon just out of reach.
Minutes pass,
and the world sharpens:
sand between my toes,
though I’m still wearing shoes.
A breeze finds me.
Salt drifts in on the air.
And then—
nothing remains
but the endless crashing of waves
out in front of me
Happy Re-Dependance Day my stupid fellow Americans!
Add something, if you'd like
That's the thing, isn't it?
I'd like to. But find myself running out of things to say.
I find myself more of a listener because I'm usually just talking to myself anyway.
No one else gives a shit.
The bravery to think of everything to say, but the cowardice to say nothing at all.
Nobody ever said that the pursuit of happiness would end up being perpetual.
Flip a coin, any coin! They all lead to the same outcome!
I wish I could remember what feeling alive felt like. Being dead on the inside day in and out just feels like I'm constantly going through the motions to dig me out of my own grave, only to bury myself in it all over again. This only leads to wanting a perma-death. We want to avoid that, right?
...right?
They'd rather watch me die and then throw a pity party for themselves.
All these voices in my head and not a single one with parting wisdom...
This is how I feel constantly.
Hell, it just might be what I even see or hear.
It's static.
Just existing for the sake of only that. To tell people that never ask, "Yeah, I'm still here."
But am I alive? Am I living?
I feel dead. It is not as cold or lifeless as a corpse but a strong second that wants to lead into the first.
Always questioning the need to thrive in a world that sees itself in its own hues while everything and everyone designs it devoid of color.
While I write or type out these inane thoughts and emotions as if they still have any meaning.
Holding onto a hope that has long been hollow.
Years of degrading like a condemned building. Trapped behind dark and moldy walls.
Sometimes missing what little comfort I thought I felt within the confines of a mental institution.
Laying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, then sometimes holding my breath and playing dead for as long as possible.
Trying to ignore all the voices calling and yelling out or the entities your mind loves to show you.
Wanting to forget being an ill loner since childhood.
Just long enough to hopefully sense myself turning with the Earth on its axis. And finally feel something at last other than existential dread.
Then, questioning one's existence once we notice the hue of the rising sun.
All because of the need to forget everything uncomfortable when you remember there was bliss in your ignorance.
Wishing you were dead just so you'd stop being morbidly curious about it.
I'll go back to being quiet now.
All this medicine and therapy, but all it feels like is putting band-aids over bullet holes and stab wounds.
Thoughts race but can't make words escape these lips
So many roads to take, but I can't take one more step
Unless it can take me into another abyss bliss
The pursuit of happiness is a long, arduous journey that goes right past the desire of existence.
