The Illusion of Progress. Facing Modern Paradoxes

Entered 2021 with 30 sheets of paper, scrawled across each one, random thoughts, a daily prompt, spiritual guidance from current to future self, in hopes the future will recalled with love in love for past self...a way to cleanse the soul, clear the programming, and chase the lunar cycle like a wolf chases a rabbit...but no longer sheep. You can’t chase what doesn’t run, what no longer breathes. #10deadlambs Always recall a specific moment, a defining memory, engrained in the layers of lyrics, music notes filling in between, the silence and lips paused in symmetry, quoting these simple words, and in your sobriety, made me feel whole from inside my well of suffering, and I crawled, I clawed, up and out and over the edge, nails torn off from digging graves and gaps between, every inch of brick gripped, fingertips stripped to bone, bloody as bare knees, bruised to the cap, never turning back, and to the fire put my knees... Someday, someday, someday boy, baby boy, beliail, brother, thee... will drown no more, stand up, and on those very feet, service no longer provide nothing to that which favor returned unseen. The echoes will sound selfish, a boomerang muttered now a beast, returning to the point of release, thrust past and split, a tongue tonsil to tip, and lodge in your throat, and gasp until you choose to exist. #10deadlambs #myoblyfriendismyonlyenemy #nowombforyourshit #purgatorychasm #freewill #chooseyourgoddamnself #getoutofyourownway #itsallyourfault #surprisemotherfucker #freedomsjustanotherwordfornothinglefttolose #goodbye #farewell #brotherinarms #foreverisamightylongtime #yourmonkeysyourcircus #chooseyourweapon #boundariesareagovernmentconspiracy #getthebandbacktogether #yourmove #exitthesimulation (at Chautauqua Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CORzRehDnPG/?igshid=efoproolp6ma

what are we here for?

i carry regret like a wolf on my back, naturally

clawing its way to the depths of my bones. 

i measure my life by the number of empty

pens lying in my trash can.

last night my mother awoke in the middle of a

nightmare and saw me writing;

she said the air was crisp with the vague scent

of dried blood and whiskey

and i licked away the remnants of my salty tears

and embraced the warmth that they left behind.

what are we here for?

i set my alarms to see sunsets and bask

in the beauty of their deaths, to watch the moon

bathe the graveyard of the sun in silver.

i see my life in wine reds and hollow blacks,

mirroring the tragedy of my rusting mind.

now, i’ve been told i romaticize things and tonight,

i’m too tired to deny it 

so i write on and on, 

no, this feels too artificial,

so i rip it off and repeat it

until my poems start to look like

bill receipts and the skin on my fingers

is peeling off and i feel it-

that i am not meant to be

and this disparity between what’s right,

what i want, and what i need.

i once read somewhere that

life is no paragraph and death is not a 

parenthesis,

but as i stare harder into my notepad,

the lines all blurring into one,

i finally realize it.

when i was born, i started a sentence,

and breathing through a series of semi colons,

i have to live to finish it.

Want honest reviews on your writing? Reblog this and message me.

I’ve decided to give HONEST reviews for poetry and other short writing. Of course, I’m not an expert, but I read and write a lot and have tried a few different styles and I think I may be able to help out passionate beginners (and anyone else, really) who are looking to genuinely improve their writing content and expression. 

If you are however looking only for pleasant compliments, I suggest you do not ask me because I can’t promise you one. But I will do my best to tell you good and bad points and how to get better. And please do NOT spam me with total bullshit.

So yeah, if you want some genuine constructive criticism on your writing, message me privately with a picture of a couple of your works.

REBLOG THIS TO HELP THE WRITING COMMUNITY. Spread the word please.

the Egyptians loved the cat were often entombed with it instead of with the child and never with the dog. and now here good people with the souls of cats are very few yet here and now many fine cats with great style lounge about in the alleys of the universe. about our argument tonight whatever it was about and no matter how unhappy it made us feel remember that there is a cat somewhere adjusting to the space of itself with a calm and delightful ease. in other words magic persists with or without us no matter how we may try to destroy it and I would destroy the last chance for myself that this might always continue.
