The Goldfish

Written 2024-02-24


Wanted to go to for a drive
Wanted a human to love

Maybe it never had a chance, a choice
Maybe it didn't need one, want one

Perhaps,

There was never any doubt
There was never any lack

Just a giant wall of fear.

Isn’t it ironic?

Written 2024-02-24

I’m pretending
that I don’t know
I’m being watched,
even though I know
that I am not.

There it was again.

Written 2024-02-19


the delusions are bold right now
having to prove the thoughts aren’t true-
time is not running out-
we’re not all doomed-
these vague layers
that have been falling in waves,
washes of another life,
they don’t mean anything-
people, places, colours
and commonplace things
they break through in patches
Am I hallucinating?

Delinquent

Written 2024-02-19


Want me to come over there?
Sure
Sit down?
Okay
Smile pretty?
Of course
Chat politely?
Chatting’s my favorite
Listen well?
I’ll hang on your every word
Speak eloquently?
I’ll leave the cursing to the sailors
Apologize?
I’m sincerely sorry for needing someone to blame
Give my sweater? Here.
How about my opinions (even though you won’t like them)?

Oh, and yeah, I know I’ve said this before, but,
if you’re set on telling me what to do at every turn,
then I’m afraid you’ll have to

Take a flipping number.

I’ve forgotten where I put it.

Written 2024-02-19


I’m an expert at hiding things
and let me tell you a secret-
It isn’t all gone.
In fact,
I’m one tiny gemstone
from unleashing the tsunami.

I’ve been afraid to search for it
in terror for all that I hold dear
But now, schizophrenia frees me
to dismiss the fear
as a delusional quirk.

Anyway,

I really don’t know what’s about to happen.

Haven’t you been asking me if this is the end of everything?

God, I hope not.
