Paradox of Choice

Visions of the past cloud my mind
to the point where I can barely see
Only outlines of the trees remain
In this windblown valley
Parallel universe, within grasp
slips through my hands
Like an hourglass
Down to the last few grains
If only a dream
could change the course
I could wake with the sun
and set without apprehension
But I wake with the fog
And fade with the sun
Should I just let it go, or wait for the fog to clear?
Shame and regret wash over me
Should I just let it go, or wait for the fog to clear?
This winter air, it burns my lungs,
and I can barely breathe.
With each setting day
As life passes by
No defined path
Only fading memories remain
Parallel universe, within grasp
slips through my hands
How could each second count,
When I had all the time in the world?

Witness
Justify
Confine yourself to this
An empty promise
A hollow existence
You deserve so much more
And you dance, and you dance for everyone and you smile.
And you dance, you dance to no sound
Cast up your walls
A speck on the floor
You don’t exist here
Wasting, wasting time
Witness
Justify
Bearer of truth
I long to be free
I need to be set free

Pseudointellectuals
Debating my existence
To justify their mediocrity
Should be made obsolete
You claim to hear gospel.
Yet you’re deafened, by charlatan scholars.
You claim to see clearly.
Yet you’re blinded, by confirmation bias
You claim to speak truth.
Yet you’re muted, to all but yourselves.
You claim to have knowledge, yet you know nothing.
Your science of intolerance,
holds no empirical merit.
You merely consume poison
from snake oil academics
Go back to the depths
Go back to the depths where you belong

Quiet Dysphoria

Skin, strained stretch marked
Left in this Cartesian nightmare
As mind conflicts with body
From this hormonal invader.
Waiting for the time to come.
When the vapour rises from the fields.
The transition from the summer heat
is unwelcome to most.
A warm embrace for this mind.
One that soars above
Beyond convention
Beyond a binary world
Beyond convention,
Beyond tradition,
Beyond expectation
Beyond a binary world
Objective beauty was never mine to own
I was never an object to begin with
