I love life and hate it all at the same time. Do I hate it more than I love it. There is no denying that.

I guess that’s just the way it is.  Has it always just been the way I feel but I hid it from myself?

I know it’s not you. do you?

The darkness crept in. whilst we were sleeping. Apparently.

Apparently, we weren’t listening. We never do

You ask the same questions. As if you were programmed to do it. By the system.

We all seek autonomy. That’s what we’re told. I guess we should l

“Where has all the horror gone? Do you know what I mean? It is not in the movies anymore, hell you know that they only want for shock and jump scares for those fuckwits at Hollywood. No real fear is stoked up. Not like it used to be by the masters of

It is okay to smile once in a while, even when times aren’t great it is okay to treat yourself. And not to project our desire through pent-up frustration. Take the good moments where you can get them, and there is no need for the poet to pepper those

We work, they tell us it is good for us, and if we are lucky it is, or it at least feels like it is. But normally we are just feeding the rich man’s mongrels.

We get told you need to be more productive. And mindful at the same time. It is easy to be

They feed their fat faces, whilst they cut our throats.

The bastards love it. And you help spoon it in. even though they spit in your faces. But it’s okay as long as they're racist, they’ll get your vote.

It comes as a shock, life.

When you eventually start living it that is.

Before then it is just a fucking annoyance.

Or for some a fucking blessing, lucky bastards.

But eventually, you will realise you have not been living all along.

And hope it isn’t

Trouble crafts itself around my organs

Clawing on to my heart for dear life

Grafting at the edges.

I should have been gone by now

Or so the thought says

But another denies it. Calls it out for what it is.

When is it over.

When does it begin.

Broken.

The vibration touches inside me. As it penetrates my eardrums.

Taking me to places I had thought I had never been.

Until I realised, I had.

Same places.

Same faces.

We’re stuck in this together.

You lick my finger.

It takes my mind off.

The problem with life is that it can be fucking hard

and shit at times

Yes, it can be wonderful and beautiful too, but mostly, a lot at least, if I am not being dramatic, is shit.

Regret is a motherfucker. Eating you up inside. Devouring you in a parasitic frenzy. Ignited by circumstance. Joy turns. Bad gets worse. They say they are not worth having, and their right. Whoever they are. But they never say how you stop. Not for f

You insult me in my own home one last time, and you will see what happens

We suffocate everything we love, but it’s not love is it?

Not what you want?

No is only the beginning of the question.

And we can’t cope with the consequences and so we keep dr

We know their type

We know who they are.

And yet we ponder, and they fail to deliver.

Rotate all you want. They are all facing the same way.

After the one thing, they should never have.

And yet you gave it them so freely.

Is there any point? Yes, there is.

Simple. But they don’t want you to think that.

It doesn’t suit their purpose for you to have hope.

It only serves to keep you in your place.

Where you have utility. To them if not you and yours.

Just stay where you

We court ourselves our entire lives. We are hardly getting to know ourselves and we disappear. The reality of that should hit home, but it doesn’t. It never does. We wonder at ourselves. Pity ourselves and are let down by ou
