"demand this of thyself"
poetry & miscellanea
"journal - jan 5 2024"
To be honest, I don’t really care about the world or glory or money or anything. All I care about is connection. We all make it hard to do that with each other sometimes.
All I wanna do is go outside and yell: “HEY EVERYBODY!!!! SEE ALL THIS STUFF?! WHO FUCKING CARES??!???!! LETS FUCK.” I guess that’s the Floridian in me
Alright, it’s 1:34. Here comes FLCL.
"oh renae"
Let’s go back while we can
Now we’ve seen the path ahead
Salvage the meaning later
In private with the tapes
You look so good in a poem
You are heavenly in song
Where you'will be much be better off
Until the real article’s forgotten
We share this wound together
Best not to slice at the stitches
Or admire the way the blood drips
I wondered what would become
If we opened up our hearts
And I will wonder forever
Whether it left us better off
I don’t have to
Close my eyes
To find the answer
It’s a part of me now
Oh Renae, I swear
It feels like nothing good will ever happen again
Sweet love; my friend,
It feels like nothing good will ever happen again
"barbenheimer blues"
I've been thinking about dying
Warm and heavy, safe and secure
How the blackness will engulf me
And all of my burdens, too
I killed myself to be like you
And I must bear the blame
I uncovered truths I wish I hadn’t
But I'm moving on today
Cause when you're alright with death
They can't hold a gun to your head
When you can't find reasons to go on
Sometimes, you just build the bomb
