A Sad Prolific Piece That Says Nothing of Much Significance

My head is full

Of what? I do not know.

Thoughts clash and clamor,

Creating noises and distractions very hard to silence.

They echo throughout my brain like ghosts long forgotten.

It’s arduous.

And so I prefer to turn up the volume on my speakers until I can no longer hear the cacophony of noise emanating from my own skull.

At least that noise is my own choice,

I tell myself with a lack luster sense of justification.

I close my eyes.

I try to imagine a beach -

Waves crashing along the shore to their own syncopation.

The tide ebbing and flowing with my own breath.

A sign to release my tension.

But the thoughts crash back in,

Creating thunderstorms.

Lighting flashes -

Illuminating the storm surrounding me.

Rain begins to pour down,

Dancing on the waves, which increase in their ferocity.

Colliding with one another -

Creeping up the shore like the bony hands of a skeleton confined in a box underground,

Begging for release.

The hands continue to claw their way up.

At times I wonder, if given the chance, if these hands would grip my throat -

And drag me back,

Down below the depths, where the pressure builds and no light exists.

For misery loves company,

And no one likes being alone -

Even misery.

My head is full

Of what? I’m not sure I want to know.

I have this reoccurring dream:

A shadow approaches

I never hear it coming - gliding just inches from the floor - it revels in catching people off guard.

“Your spirituality seems to be broken.” it says.

I was aghast - unsure how to proceed.

“How does one exist with a broken spirit?”

I asked.

It smiled a most sinister smile

A smile that says it knows more than you - and shadows always do.

“It’s simple,” the shadow whispered, “you can’t.”

Don’t run from lessons; they are little packages of treasure that have been given to us. As we learn from them, our lives change for the better.

I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.

My dear

Have you been hiding, my dear Maybe thriving, my dear Or gripping your chest even tighter, my dear Nearly flying, my dear Downright crying, my dear Locking yourself up and lying, my dear But I'm trying, my dear Help you climb it, my dear And I'll see you on top staring down on us, dear But I'm screaming, my dear And believing, my dear That you'll show us all up and achieve it, my dear And I realize, my dear That your real eyes, my dear Were not meant to be locked down in my eyes, my dear But I'm stating, my dear Not debating, my dear That I hope all you want is created, my dear Not deserving, my dear But by earning, my dear And for being the person who yearns for it, dear So now go rest, my dear Though I show less, my dear Please just know that I'm wishing you all of the best, dear And I hope that you find it out there in the black When the stars light the sky to the moon and back

I think true love is

Finding someone who likes to take a shower at the same temperature you do.

Lyrics Define My Life So Perfectly

Well, are you happy now? Now that you got what you came for?

[ck-writings]

But you are the love of my life. The light in the dark. The sun in the sky. I love you. So please don’t leave me. Not now. Not ever.

Do not fall in love with a poet. They make poems out of sad endings. Especially about your sad story. you’ll know the right thing to do was to leave but her poems will make you regret that you did. // ck.writes (via ck-writings)

Petty Ponderings

I've never understood why it's an inalienable right for the pursuit of happiness. Why do we all feel so entitled to be happy. It makes us as humans put so much stake in becoming happy. We do things to feel happier and happier - yet what if things that make you happier infringe on others happiness? Who is to say whose happiness is worth more than another persons happiness? I think everyone has the ability to happy with the most simple of things. It's a state of being - not a pursuit. It's something that exists within all of us - not a prize to be won or some achievement to be unlocked. People put too much stake in trying to find their happiness instead of just being happy.

[amortizing]

I was laying in bed one night and I thought ‘I’ll just quit— to hell with it.’ And another little voice inside me said ‘Don’t quit— save that tiny little ember of spark.’ And never give them that spark because as long as you have that spark, you can start the greatest fire again.

Charles Bukowski (via amortizing)
