cognitive dissonance.

Sometimes it makes me nauseous to be stuck inside revolving answers. Answers that often contradict in language and in action. The evolution of rights and wrongs is pretty hysterical. I want to know that you accept and love me without feeling guilty that you do. Carrying an indistinguishable weight can make one's appearance very unattractive, which only furthers my misunderstanding as to what it is you see in me. Do I have a lack of integrity because I often want to abandon my opinions and adopt yours? Does patience, once it out-steps a certain confine, become a fashion of fear?


When does just enough become too much? Wanting, needing.. is there really even an appropriate boundary to be placed on said things? The definition between the two is arguably not concrete; the nature of each differs from person to person. What about desire isn't selfish, yet what about desire isn't natural? Is there a definite line that marks where philanthropy and self-preservation meet? Are they separate entities entirely? Are they simply woven together? After all, how can you have one without the other? I've a very muddled view of everything at present. I feel light-headed and weary. Too weary to sleep. Oh, the axiomatic insomnia: very anti-climatic.


In a completely disjointed conclusion: here's some nonsense.


I'm an eruption of color and madness,
Skating along the brink of sanity
Reading the questions that lie
beyond what you
approve.

Mint blades of grass etch the soles
of my feet with their whining,
and through the vale shine
sprouts of truth.

My thoughts were taken up by the night,
Devoured in disarray, without cessation
in between the sky's chomping lips.

Each idea now falls down from this tree of
idealism I'm sitting under. Overripe and
seedless fruit; an amalgam of rights who
wronged, resolved into red delicious.

Sometimes when I am lonely, I take a bite,
and rest assured I'll lose myself sour in
investigatory taste buds. I digest an
indescribable desire ---

a misdemeanor
of sorts.

This could explode a conglomerate mess,
Sculpting identities with molten modesty,
And falling behind the faces of a
Convenient cognomen or two.

Until then, I mull the texture in my mouth,
and remember to nearly forget to swallow.
I would answer tomorrow's query
if it weren't for your swift
apprehensive stare.

I need a violent violet remedy,
I'm beginning to feel sick

Behind gaping mouths await secrets,
Embedded in molars: untold gestures.
Clown-like truths that haunt the bearer.
Lets talk ambiguity -- bright and charming.

Lies pucker valiantly atop the corner of lips,
Scorching conversation with imaginative advances.
Flying outward with seemingly perfected cadence,
Creating faulty foundations beneath trusting feet.

Truth rests nonchalantly, leaning against tongue,
Near the tip he dances, to and fro: remaining.
Glimpses caught through hasty dialogue,
Right sided visions of fights inevitably lost.

Within each throat, deep and circumstantial,
Linger families whose morals sway.
Algorithms commonly accepted throughout.
Beloved and Unwanted bleeding with one accord.

Naked hearts were never my specialty;
Faults provided silver lined on dishes of gold.
Now humbled and regretful, seeking fresh horizons,
I surrender truth and lies altogether.

I'm sitting here in a dimly lit room in the far corner of a metabolic square, meandering through a steady stream of cursory thoughts, wondering what hypocritical happenstance I may dream up next. The alphabet forsakes me: this frame resembles a loss: dietary malnutrition through simple lack of appetite. Must night taunt me with its flickering star flaked sky? Every nurturing word wouldn't be enough to satiate the hunger of a dying light. My day is being swallowed down tonight's long, sequined throat –-- soon now will be then, leaving only question marks to marry ampersands in recompense for the future.

I? I? What am I? I am such a selfish paragraph...

I am the one who likes to think that you appear by my side,

vivid by the light of the celestial onion whose head hangs low,

merely through sincere delight, and a sure desire to be truly known.


Whatever you do: please don't let go.
