Have fun with it

The sun will one day lose it's flame,

And none will live to speak it's name,

So know that when all's said and done,

What mattered was that you had fun,

Nothing can survive in life,

And yet we throw ourselves to strife,

Sure, it's not wrong to want to live,

To find some meaning you can give,

But in between the search and struggle,

Buried deep beneath the rubble,

There is fun still to be had,

So go make merry and be glad!

Love just for love of it,

Is shallow to be sure,

But if each river was a fault,

None of us would endure,

A drizzle can brighten my day,

A drop can make it shine,

Sure it cannot make me whole,

But who's whole all the time?

Good Night

Day tumbles into night,

Gold in obsidian hue,

The flower that did bloom on high,

Has gone to sleep anew,

Tomorrow it will bud again,

As flowers are to do,

Till then the soil be left to rest,

And with it so should you.

Constantly straddling,

Consciousness and sanity,

The internet isn't helping.

There's a decision to be made,

That fills my heart with fear,

A test that if I fail I'd die,

A test for my career.

Only fifteen out of hundreds pass,

My heart says I'll do too,

So I'm stuck here feeling insane,

Thinking I'll join their crew.

I'd feel as if I'd been crowned king,

I feel it is my fate,

Torn between self doubt and hope,

Torschluss at the gate.

Resenting rest

I need my days of rest,

How else would I get mad,

How else would I feel wholly hollow,

Or supremely sad?

See if work is what fulfills me,

Then the rest must all be low,

And even if that isn't true,

It's all I really know.

Applied pressure

Just a foot inside the door,

Nothing else,

Nothing more,

If I had just that one inch,

I'd make it work,

I'd never flinch,

How I wish I wasn't young,

Or with my years,

More had done.

Holy shit it's 3 am,

How did I end up,

Here again??

We're both stars,

You the sun and I Arcturus,

As you rise I fade away,

I, the night and you, the day,

So in darkness I must wonder,

How some claim this makes me fonder,

All it does is bring me pain,

When will I see the sun again?

Imposter no more

Someone whom I look up to,

With revery and respect,

Told me that I'm talented,

And perform with effect,

But more than that he said it plain,

As if there was no doubt,

That I was made to play a part,

That clearly was laid out.

A road,

A hill,

A mountain top,

A journey that must one day stop,

So I hurry on with haste,

Keep a steady heady pace,

I see flowers,

Smell them sure,

But I hunger still for more,

Time runs out and I with it,

Life's so short,

Too short to quit.

Be honest

I'm starting to think that beauty,

Is the wrong reason to write,

I want to make an awesome thing,

That keeps you up at night,

Something that invokes an awe,

So incredibly profound,

That you might have the simple thought,

That we should stick around.

But is that really okay?

Am I allowed to want,

For you and I to feel that way?

Or should I just be happy,

With a work that makes me mad,

Because all my words don't seem to work,

And therefore I am bad.

A pause in the struggle,

Fresh air fills my room,

Scarf it down with panicked breaths,

Awaiting further doom,

Lighting split my soul in two,

I flinched between the cracks,

This does not feel like freedom yet,

I'm waiting to collapse.

People I don't care to please,

Who I hate as dogs do fleas,

Know that though you bother me,

That is all you'll ever be.

An itch,

A glitch,

A spot of pain,

Something I'll forget again.

With weary legs I stand my ground,

Tired of running round and round,

All my sprints have brought me here,

Facing the music,

Embracing my fear.

A stage of lights,

Bright as can be,

And all their eyes,

Are glued to me.

I joke,

They laugh,

I scream,

They gasp,

Our hearts are in each other's grasp.

My flesh cries out in agony,

A message from my soul,

I'm overworked and underpaid,

And cannot bear the toll.
