"TBIs and the Symphony of Neurons"

Psychologically speaking,
Traumatic brain injuries
Change who you are
In its entirety.

The brain is who we are;
We are just meat suits -
With an electrical grid,
Full of flashing sparks.

A symphony of neurons -
Exploding and connecting,...

"Who Am I?"

As it stands,
I am a philosopher.
I run information influx
To the point of dizziness.

I take in information,
Absorb it like a sponge,
Then I try to relay it in my verses,
As everything is absolute hell.

I am as wise as a cat,
Like Felix...

"My Life Is A Joke"

As my words
Cut like a saw blade,
Stanzas exist
Merely to corral
My words
Into short,
Straight lines.

Figuratively speaking,
And interestingly enough,
My life is a joke -
As I progress into
A fascistic existence.

This life is still

"Screams"

Literally screaming while I'm writing things currently.

Brain wants me to d*e and I'm sitting here screaming back at it like I'm insane

I mean, i talk to myself.

That's not the problem, nor the point

The problem is crippling depression...

I won.

I've been so close before but this time I won.

I beat the clock race, I beat everything.

I beat all odds against my favor.

I beat my head. I literally...

"Severe Depression"

I am always depressed
Conditions of the USA
Causes my depression to hit
A critical and terminal end
No amount of medicine
Is going to "fix" me.
Our leaders are to blame
Because they don't
Care about any of us
And I'm just supposed
To not...

"Science and Propaganda"

May know jack shit bout vaccines,

But this much distrust between science and humans is pretty much because of the manipulation and gaslighting from all these years.

It DID NOT come from nowhere.

Somewhere during or after colonization,

I can't breathe,
I need to break free -
From this life,
That is overwhelming.

It drowns me
In blood,
As I watch everything unfurl -
It is harrowingly...

The things
People don't understand
About being trans-

Is that we were always
The people we say we are.

We weren't ever
These silly people
You forced into...

"Trading Shots"

As I continuously trade shots,
With my ego,
I hit myself over and over.
Loving myself is difficult,
While trauma tends to haunt me,
At every single corner.

It tends to be grueling,
These emotions I have.
They are formidable foes.

"Tripwires and Traps, Oh My"

My head - my literal head.
Was it all for naught?
Surviving this whole time
Existence is agonizingly painful

Tripping through tripwires
Traps and predators oh my
The small rat survived
Another day in hell

This rat gnaws,
Chews at the...

"I am Aro/Ace"

I am aro/ace...
What that means
Is that I struggle to portray
Sexual and romantic attraction,
Or that I have little to none.

How can a human struggle
With these things?
Some of us are willing to talk about it...
Just ask us, and if we're...

"Disillusions"

Reality is a shell
Of its former self,
Shattered; fake.
A mirage; an illusion
That does not persist.

An eerie reminder
That we're all hallucinating
Into harrowing delusions,
Like toxic debris
That lures us in.

Pretending to live,
When...

"The Symphony of Sadness"

There's cynicism in the air

People struggling in times of need

This symphony knows no bounds

As everyone minds their own

Constant pain and suffering, who is to blame?

The symphony of sadness makes no marks

It tears people to bits...

"Adulthood"

Adulthood is a scam
It's all a sham
Beyond illusions and delusions
It is all a lie.

I saw this coming in childhood,
But everyone said "you're a know it all",
Or "you don't know everything".

There were reasons why I isolated so much

"Community"

Go inside
Each other's minds,
Just to see -
What we can find.

Somewhere
In the darkness,
I'm sure -
We can find something.

It doesn't seem
like we could,
But I swear to you -

Community is important -
Without each other,

There goes my head again...
Stuck in a rut,
As darkness pervades,
Existence feels futile,
But I exist -
Against my own will,
Against it all -

"Rejection Sensitivity"

I'm highly sensitive to rejection.
It's a problem as I struggle with myself.
I cling onto people like glue,
Then when they eventually leave,
My feelings crash and burn.
It is painful; I don't know how to live with myself.
But that's what makes...

"Treacherous Mirrors"

Sometimes, I look in the mirror,
I see things,
Dreams fading away,
Forlorn, forgotten;
For the elites.

When I was young,
I was a big dreamer;
I dreamt big things;
I dreamt of paradise.

When I look into this mirror,
I see fractured...

"The Machine Demands Snackrifices"

The machine constantly demands sacrifices -

As more and more people are sacrificed -

Bloody turning cogs -

For genocide. For land. For resources.

It is volatile and blood-thirsty.

Even many sacrifices will not satisfy the machine.

"Fragile Mortality"

Fragile mortality isn't easy to deal with.
Knowing your life is extremely fragile, and how sharp these stings are;
Really wears you down.

WE ARE NOT MACHINES.

WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS.

SOME OF US ARE CAPABLE OF INTENSIVE EQUATIONS;

OTHERS LIKE ME FUEL LIFE WITH NODES OF CREATIVITY.

WE WERE NOT MEANT TO BE MACHINES.

Is this a nightmare?
Or am I in a waking dream?
Elucidating our lives like some sort of sick joke;
Oh, please let it be a nightmare...

I just want to wake up and enjoy my life,
Without all the bad news -
That is occurring in the world.

The cynic bears his fangs as he sees this world in shades of shadow;

To be one with darkness is no mere feat as everyone fights their inner demons.

"Impending Doom"

This sense of impending doom -
Certainly I'm not the only one who can feel it?
Out of everything going on in the world,
There's a lot. It's a lot.
The masses would rather ignore it all.

Prevent change, prevent hope?

Mortality is simple in this life,
Humans fear the unknown;
We fear what we do not know.

But I've never feared the unknown;
I've feared the known more.

The unknown are my friends.
Always have and always will be.

You will never take away...

Temporal Conflux

Time is a valuable thing.

As the fabric of space-time slowly twists and pulls apart;

Time will become wonky and uncontrolled.

It certainly seems as though,

Humans do not care about this.

As we slowly speed towards the future,
