I couldn’t sleep so I composed a haiku
I’m afraid to want
Because I might be let down
It’s kind of Buddhist
So want and be hurt
How else would you know? Know that
you’re freaking alive?

And yes, Eric. My bluug has reached terminal emoness.
Maybe that means it can only get less emo from here.
Hope, like a dead weight hanging in your chest.
Making a pendulum, making you a clock.
Time heals all and all heals with time
right?
So count the seconds.
Count those goddamned fucking seconds
Count them like you mean it
Count them

What am I doing? Why am I drivelling insanities and unreasons?
Can’t you see? Are you so blind? Are you all so blind?
This is a cry for help, this is my desperation.
I smile out of one face, laugh with another.
But with the third face, I cry for a brother, a mother, a lover
of my soul.
But of course, everyone’s too wrapped up with all of their things. And to be fair, quite a few people around me have tried to give their support.
But it’s half assed.
Maybe I should seek professional help; synthetic, remote, professional, yes. But maybe someone paid to heal will actually do that job. And god knows I’d give just about anything to be well/well-off again. Because altruism just doesn’t work. It’s an ideal, and only an ideal. Still, it’d be nice to solve my problems not wearing a latex glove but rather as a human, as a functioning part of society.
I’m reaching out; I really am. Someone else, help me catch my fall.
But maybe next time when someone asks me if I’m alright I shouldn’t just laugh and ask “Why wouldn’t I be?” Or smile and say “I was just joking, I’m really too schizophrenic for my own good.”
Still, there’s pride to worry about in real life. I guess that’s why I couldn’t cry even though I wanted to. Even though I felt like I should, even though I felt like it might be healing. Consciously I willed myself, but unconsciously I sneered at myself.
Sigh, I don’t know how to end this post. Depression is enveloping, like a miasmatic bubble that becomes your entire existence, your entire universe. I guess what I really want, put simply, is just to get better.
