Absurd Walls

I wish that I could create an intricate equation that would answer everything. A proof that me being here has some significance. But I'm bound by these absurd walls. And as much as I try, I'll always fall back down to the concrete. There is no fate, no such luck. I think it's the fucking desperation that's been killing me. I'm bound by these absurd walls.

I wasn't made perfect in the eyes of some fucking god. It's the little imperfections that make us shine. I find myself like Rousseau when he wrote "I dare to believe that I am not made like any who exist". I'm not an artist because of the paintings I view. I'm not a musician just because of all the hip new bands I listen to. I'm not a poet just because I've read Bukowski's words a few times and found myself living vicariously through them.

Static

I awake every morning screaming at a sun that never rises. And in 21 years have yet to find what I need. There is no hope, no future, just a state of anticipation. An endless yearning for something that I'm not even sure is there. I've been down and out for far too long and I just need to feel that fire in the pit of my chest. That fire. Each day is a pathetic forgery of the last. Each smile, each though, a pathetic forgery. I live my life in the biting cold and I'm just praying for a spark. Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, life goes on well. But lately I've been wondering if anything really changes.

False Crystal Palace

The notion of everything beautiful and sublime makes me sick. If we actually lived in that crystal palace, I'd toss every stone I could find through the front gates. Everyone needs some chaos in their lives. Everyone needs to find ugliness in themselves. I used to believe that I could reach a state of perfection. I used to believe that I could bend the world around me into something more tangible. But perfection is the same as God: a joke that's gone on for too long. Ah well, fuck it. I'm not renewing. I'm going to shatter this false crystal palace.

The more you learn, the more depressing everything seems. I've realized that nothing I will ever do will ever mean anything, but I think I'm ok with that.
