What was the purpose
You were always the person
But I was just the plan
A step on your staircase
Leading you where
There’s no destination
This is life as we know it
Fleeting and absurd
A bridge to an unknown
So why again
Why can’t a be a person
The person
And not merely a plan

What if it’s self doom? I mean, I write poetry.

Can’t let myself feel
A stoic poet
Lungs with no air
It’s avoidance again
Shame barks in my ear
As I roll words out
In never healed

Beliefs and doubts
Paradoxical deluxe
Paralysis of creation
Don’t hit post
They’ll know I don’t

Why bother with an image
They don’t care

Will judge for a moment
Then burn the next effigy

While you roll in soot
Never given a hand
Plenty of opinions
With not one care

Shift is coming
Without an ask
Blame will emerge
With wounds on my back
Didn’t betray me one bit
Revealed yourself
Innit exactly as I thought

Lost prophet
Reverberating ego
Of who I was supposed to be
Was erasing me
Shapeshifting for culture
Thrown in with no wings
Swam to the bottom
Samsara me again

Not fond of surprises
Uncertainty accompanies me
Through all transitions
No need for its relatives
An uninvited guest
In a house filled with smoke

There is a world inside me
I cannot express it
Only to relieve the pressure
One word at a time
Words possibly relatable
Drips of consciousness
One key stroke at a time

Wasted verses
Seeking an undertone
Woke up the shadows
Engulfing light
Need more verses
Illuminating the spar

We should be able to have multiple pins for our feed. We are creative people, moving in different directions, and the idea of one pin is annoying.

Words don’t land
Toothless piranhas
Without knowledge of me
Insults aren’t my demise
Butterfly wings
Hardly noticed

The bruised heart
Windows to when I cared
Read it as history
I’m not going back
