memoirs of a nihilist


it’s not what i see

it’s what i perceive

and to me

i’m in a box

not exits, no locks

not the slightest flicker

of illumination

 

a darkness you can’t see

a silence you can’t hear

 

grasping for straws

nerve endings raw

 

devoid of the delusion of destiny

 

all i feel is the weight of my convictions

while trying to transfer that heaviness

unto my rage, my hate

to keep them pinned down

immobile, under control

 

suffocating in the stale air of hopelessness

extinguished like the cells

in the bone yard of my brain

 

beyond pretending

that happy endings

coalesce within a consciousness

captured by the capitulation

of my created universe

so expansive

it can only be measured

by the meaninglessness

of all the spaces in-between
