tick tock

A world which 

Begins with the 

Click of the 

Day, with 

Every tick 

From the clock 

Going round, 

Hounding the day till 

I drag myself out,

Just for another day. 


 

Killing yourself 

Lingers with chance, 

My life hangs 

Not with my choice,

Or with my will. No, I

Pertain to the world, 

Quick schemes and

Rushed time-


 

Slow, is not an option. 

Time is a resource. 

Use it, or it will be 

Vanquished, lost, squandered.


 

Where is it lost?

Xenial offerings, 

You cannot waste time, or the 

Zealots will pass you.

  • fire and fury

    poetry is false

    and i am fake, 

    the world is spinning 

    on an invisible axel

    and i am screaming 

    at the top of my lungs

    out into darkness

    with no one to hear me

  • mania

    i desire maniacal creation

    to let words flow past my skin and from my heart

    till my skin breaks and my bones ache with their force

    till my mind is a muddled mess of focus and their intensity
