Losing my mind to the senseless noise that rocks my head to and fro Laying in a sea of immortal dread and existential dead Waiting for what they call the end Stuck in my head Stuck in my head Stuck in my head The love that never gave any back The hell that never learned to burn The heaven that never existed Stuck in my head Stuck in my head Stuck in my head No where to run No where to find her again The want comes and goes Stuck in my head Stuck in my head Stuck in my head Where do all the lines compose As they entangle into prose Falling into place Waiting for what they call the end Letting it go as all it pours from my head Onto these pixelated words that scream into my head The feeling is gone The cope is gone All that is left is what you have The hurt people who can’t seem to stop hurting people Running and running towards a place you never reach The path being what is the most important Learn Act Move That’s all there is Everyone’s consciousness fluctuating with how tired, hungry, upset, happy, horny, angry, how drunk they are. I don’t get racism. I don’t get liberalism. I don’t understand the drive to say shit to upset people. I don’t understand the drive to be upset by it. Never will — most likely. I am just a middle class white man who’s lived an unstable life like many others. I want to live in a van for the stability this time. It’s my choice this time. Growing up moving state to state. Never getting to be included in a community and being deeply afraid of asking for what I want or to be included. Being shy does not help you. So, is writing supposed to unlock something in you? Free some part of you locked away or does it just expose the phonological loop you keep hidden? Ahhhh, right you’re not supposed to write like you talk. You put on your “Writerly” hat and go “The exposure of the effervescent light splashes against her skin like smooth waves casting an aura of erotic tension as it lingers on the surface of her — begging for it to be broken by the touch of him” or some shit? Weeewooo weeewooo weeeeewoooo this all has to go Every piece has to be sold You don’t get to be hold A weary fool’s gold Nary a fairy’s touch could ever be so bold Eh, it’s okay. Is this a journal entry? I don’t dude, you tell me.
