What’s the Point


What’s the point?

Greed
Ego
Narcissism
Selfishness
Transactional
Using
Manipulation
What benefits me
What serves me
Everything should be easy
No room for negativity
If it doesn’t serve me then it isn’t for me
Hypocrisy
Vanity
Superficiality
Self-centered
Exploitation
Fear
Frustration
Anger
Hate
48 Laws of Power
Rich Dad Poor Dad
Art of War

These are the values of the world today
Gone are the concepts of grace, humility, respect, commitment, compromise, sacrifice
It’s all just pain and suffering in a world hyper connected that couldn’t be more alone and less understanding and empathetic
This world is no longer for me
One way or another, it’s time to leave

Wishes

Are wishes good or bad
What are wishes
Are they products of the mind or the heart

They are when your thoughts converge around an idea that has meaning to you
An idea that could change your life
Or will change your life
Or fixes your problems and solves your issues
And you wish it would come true

They are when your feelings converge around a notion that affects you deeply
A notion that could alter your normal pattern of living
Or fix things to how they were
Or to make things how you want them to be
And you wish it would come true

What’s the difference between wishes and hopes and dreams
Dreams are fantasies that we choose to embrace or let go of
Hopes might happen if we invest enough emotion and work
Wishes won’t happen because we think things happen to us and we haven’t taken accountability

I hope it’s everything you’ve always wished it would be and you’re living that dream now. Or is that dream a nightmare in whore’s clothing?

No Hope

April 23, 2020 - 11:33

The hurt
The pain
Just so numb
Powerlessness
Futility
Despair
Loss of control
Out of control
Who’s in control
Not me

Numb
To feel anything
Except frustration
Except loss
Except sadness
Except depression
Except regret
Except the spiraling tunnel to nowhere but the depths of despair
Except the loss of light that you no longer feel, think, or believe exists

The desire to feel again
The desire to be again
The desire to get high to feel happy again
The desire to wallow in the depths of sorrow because it’s so comfortably depressing
The desire to see family because of all the memories and support
The desire to talk to friends but you don’t want to burden their happiness
The desire to give away all your possessions to make it easier
The desire to cut to feel again
The desire to die to end this bad dream, this nightmare
The desire to run away and leave everything and everyone far behind

But you’ll still be stuck with you
And all the problems you cause
And all the issues you bring
And all the wrong things you do
And all the ways you’re wrong
And all the ways you failed
And all the people you let down
And all the ways you hurt the ones you love
And all the loneliness you can’t escape
And all the ways you can’t be happy in a world with an addiction to pain and suffering and selfishness and greed
And all the ways people use then abandon each other while calling it love

The past doesn’t matter
The future doesn’t exist
All you can see is the present
This moment
The hour
The minute
The second
Like a dagger darting on a spinning wheel that might fly off, fall off, or keep on ticking around and around
And your never ending pain
And the way to end it all
One way or another
Doesn’t matter how
As long as it ends
