And So Am I

I am in a forever state of duality.


I feel intense subjective emotions overtake me suddenly after being held in for too long, and i start crying when suddenly i realize how absolutely beautiful it all is so i start laughing. But then that means i must stop crying. I stop crying far too soon, the emotions can't escape me and so i continue to suffer. The fight within me has no out no escape, i claim to see beauty to know truth yet that truth is the true fiend. It prevents the screams of the somebody i can't help but feel within my body from escaping naturally as in a normal human being. The fiend of truth within my mind the one who sees beauty and screams in ecstasy holds me back, holds me back, punctures the human within injects the pain back in like a monster, starts dancing of rainfall and flowers--and i, the human, am left a slave to him. 


You are in a forever state of duality

Emotions that overtake you are held back by a fiend of truth within your mind

Sometimes i wish i could split myself and you into two, place one half on the sky, and the other, on the by.


The biggest curse you can give a man is sight in a world of blind.

Because once they see, they will heave gulps of sword-fights and tap their feet into note lengths. 

The biggest curse you can give a man is wisdom in a world of idiocy. 

Because while laughing in ecstasy, those who know not what is will see madness.

What else can I do? 




They're gone. 

Peotry--is dead.

And so am I.
