Stream Of Conscientiousness

The days have turned to nights.
While the nights still hold their rights.
Awake.
Every day is abnormally the same.
I wake.
I breathe.
I eat.
I smoke.
I drink.
I write.
I think.
I develop ideas that are seemingly going nowhere.
Because,
Well,
That's where they've always gone.
Nowhere.
Abyss.
A direct path to the event horizon.

Contemplate social conformity.
Sell out or buy in?
What's in it for me?
Why comply with what I don't agree?
I'm selfish.
I don't understand why people like me.
I'm awkward.
I never know what to say.
I can't keep a legitimate job.
And I'm only nice if it benefits me.

Reflection.
Contemplation.
Preparation.
Inability to deal with change.
Lack of genuine fucks to give.
Hope that I can do something with my writing.

Hope.
Faith.
I can't get rid of them.
I keep writing.
Maybe someone will read it and feel comforted.
Maybe someone will read it and care.
Maybe someone will read it and hate it, despise it, abhor it.
Maybe I will get some kind of attention.
Maybe I will get some kind of understanding.
Maybe I will get some kind of feedback.
Maybe one day I'll know what to do with it.

Maybe.
Hopefully.
The child in me is where my hope resides, lingers.

I wish it meant something.
The way I am.
The way I think.
The way I write.
I wish it really mattered.
And I wish it was okay to matter.
I wish it was okay for people to share intimate thoughts.
I live in a world where materials cease to exist.
I live in my mind. 
I live in a dream.
I live in the unseen.

Every day is like this.
I've forgotten all of my dreams.
Though, they still exist.

Every day is a struggle to be a better day.
Every moment I'm awake, every breath I wish I didn't take,
Every life I contact, every thought I think,
Are all hopeful progressions, lining the brink.
The day of death.
The day of dreams.
The day of life.
The day of night.

Everything is an inspiration.
Everything is a conspiracy.
Everything is delicately connected,
By my self induced fallacy.

So, I sit.
Alone.
Absorbing all I can.
Away from the world...
Away from my friends...
Away from life...
Away again.

I promise I care...
Even more so when I'm not there.
I care more than I care to admit.
I just can't find my cares right now...
Or how they're supposed to fit.

Naming - Letters to the Multiverse

Powerless Life, Powerless Night

I have never really understood will power. I understand boredom. I think it's a waste of time to think about how boring your imagination is. You're so dull, you can't entertain yourself, but I get it. I've had will power, and I like to think that once you've experienced something, it increases your knowledge of said something. But when I weigh out the benefits of telling yourself what you want, and then sticking to it, it falls short on the scale next to living in the moment. Making crazy, off the wall, out of the blue, stupid decisions is part of being human, it's part of the human experience. I can't understand why people don't want to make bad decisions. It was one of "those days." The kind of emotional girl roller coaster days you'd see in a rom com where the girl is taking turns comforting herself in greasy french fries and Tom Hanks' love stories with whatever her name is with the orgasms, except there were drugs, and it wa...
