I was, so I will be
I hoped, so I despaired
I am me, so I will be free
Free to be the me I see
In every glance, cautiously
Calling in the next me
That I will see. I flee
From images of life
That show me as the 'I'
I know is not me. But why
Must I, the lie of lies,
See past the life I live for my
Own happiness? For spite,
I fear, a dreadful spite
To rob all meaning from my life.
I listen, yet I do not hear
Nor see a kindred soul near
Me, to allay my driving fear
Of what has faded from the clear
Light of what I used to hold dear;
That is to say, what I may be
Is that which I may never see.

What I May Yet See
What is it that I may yet see?
Hidden, as it is, behind this veil,
Behind my own temerity,
A stifling press of air gone stale,
Faded dreams and time cut short,
Lost in nothingness.
What is it that I may yet hear?
Muffled, as it is, beneath emotion
Heartfelt. A peal of bells, sounding clear
Above my desperate self-commotion,
Hinting of a great beyond,
Beyond my reach.
What is it that I may yet feel?
Numbed, as I am, against my pain,
Tucked away, burning with fiery zeal,
Yet covered by that awful stain
Of grief and guilt apparent,
Struggling to breath.
What is it that I may yet know?
Dumbstruck, as I am, apprehension for li

And so I prepared myself. Hat, coat, gloves. I popped my iPod in, letting the music fill me, mixing melodies and rhythm, calming nerves set on edge. I began to fall into the deep weave of the sound, waves of dynamic contrast pulling me forward.
I stepped outside. The icy wind bit at me, cruelly, clawing at my meager protection. But I forced my way onward, into the failing brightness. My steps matched the tempo flowing through my head. Right, left. One, two. The wind tore at my flesh, desperate to ruin my focus. A battle built, crescendo, climbing higher. Music, cold, lyrics, freezing,

An Observation of Neglect
Here I am,
Present
Yet forgotten amongst the ruins.
Gears grinding, promising progress
Within a false family of vultures,
United to find greater spoils.
I see myself,
Infinitesimal
And inconsequential amongst the towers.
Fragile foundations based blasphemously
Upon a land of lecherous lies,
Soon to crumble, tumbling down.
Here I am,
Invisible
Yet suffocating amongst the ruins.
Cataclysmic crashes toppling towers
Upon a foundation foolishly forgotten,
Falling to bury righteous and sinful alike.
How Emotions Influence Actions
It's tragic, the extent to which actions are influenced by emotion. For emotions are based off memories, and memories are always in the path. By acting out what we feel, we doom ourselves to forever repeat the past.
So wherein lies the solution? Are we safe within a shell of apathy, or are emotions too intrinsic to our human person to live without? The continuance of feelings suggest that emotions are natural. However, is this sad cycle of the past also natural? Is it good or evil? If it is indeed natural yet evil (if such a thing can truly even exist), then what obligation do we as humans have concerning wha
The Vortex consumes all we see.
It is unthinking, unchanging, all-powerful.
Emotions fade
Like season,
And friends pass by
Quickly.
Yet still, forever, trudge we
Onward.
The Vortex will never depart.
Escape is impossible.
Though we tary, ever downward
is our path, torn asunder
From our desire
The Vortex has unimaginable strength.
Resistance shan't last,
Futility in full,
Endless pulling,
Never ebbing,
Dragged eternally
Toward the core
The Vortex unites all.
Central strength draws
Together.
What was separate is now
One,
Turning nightmare to joy.
The Vortex.
It is not bad,
It is not good;
It has a lesson to teac
Ripped apart and cast aside
Tossed away, a worthless whore
Stupid shit, not worth the fight
Crawling back to beg for more
Demon's ally, Satan's friend
Advocate of total sin
Slash and burn it, bring the end
Faithless morals cannot win
Haunting spector, fearful wight
Torturing my silent dreams
Judgment passed, but it's not right
Evil is not what it seems
Little fucker, spineless bitch
Dragged along like deadened weight
Now I am wrong, I've been bewitched
And I've become the one I hate
I am, so I am not
I was, so I will be
I hoped, so I despaired
I am me, so I will be free
Free to be the me I see

It's been almost two years now since I've settled into this funk. I see those around me, my friends, both old and new. I see them, and I am sad. I see them, and I see people I can never be. They have their moments of sadness. Hell, they have a lot more than just moments. They've had months of sadness. They've had drugs, they've had cutting, they've had suicide attempts.
But, in the end, they've always bounced back. And they haven't just bounced back to keep living, they've bounced back to happiness.
It's been almost two years now since I've settled into this funk. To say I'm sick of it would completely lose all meaning to what I'm saying. I
A brony is some sort of fanatical supporter of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic or some shit like that. I have no idea what's up with it, but apparently everyone is jumping on the bandwagon, just like that.
