Meaning by standing-symmetry, literature

Literature

Meaning

Is this what's left of me when I'm gone? All I am, all I'll ever be is words. Records. Organized files pushed into millions of other ways to record that I exist. That I did exist, after the fact. If I'm not just words, I am other's memories. I am nothing. Why can't I be something? After I'm gone, who will remember me? Can and will I make some sort of difference? Or will you be the only difference I make? (That hovering cloud.) I am just an ordinary person. And all I will ever be is words. Now I just have to find the grammar to fix it all.

Purpose by standing-symmetry, literature

Literature

Purpose

In a battle against being selfish and self-less - there's no in-between. Around me the world falls apart, the life I know is a replica of the whole society. Conflict here, conflict there. Feelings overwhelm, loving and hating fight for spotlight. I know the differences I make; the roles I play, and yet I find no purpose. Time rolls by and looking back I want to slow down. The life I know day by day is almost surreal compared to my past. Changes I've made, loves I've lost; it never seems to have meaning. So the soul I'm in search of so anxiously might be out there - it could even be right in front of me. But when there's nothing left,

Literature

the world imploding

And from far away, you seem perfect. Everything is perfect from that point of view. When I get close to, your almost perfection slips away, like a role you were just made to play. I wish I could see what I see far away all of my time. I wonder what that'd be like, seeing you in that light. You make me feel so wonderful, you make me want to be who I see. But then you'll say one thing, a minor way of saying you hate who I be. That one thing that boggles my mind, that makes me want only perfection to come from these lips. I know you're out of my reach, and I wonder if you ever think about me. About that possibility. That's so far awa

Now That I Am What Do I Be? by Tatami, literature

Literature

Now That I Am What Do I Be?

it told me I was an object that I was one word with no hyperboles or adjectives it told me what I was and to be and what's to come of me (it told me the meanings) I want to shake its hand and forget that if I look too long I'm blind and all those images lost outside put into my mind I want to meet the sun and treat it like a parent and selfish "thank you"s because all organisms get what they want from Flaming It and we ain't so special enough to thank personally not even a list to be written off on it's a pity we're only a mind to a shrink and money to a doctor to tell us what they think they think they don't care and we

Beauty, Next Exit by Tatami, literature

Literature

Beauty, Next Exit

It's a choice to make turning right off the freeway into a debatable harm's way Beauty, Next Exit Population 0 persons Beauty is a place, but you don't have to stay Beauty has its place; you don't have to stay Beauty is a place with visitors you come and go --a place where nothing new or special grows it has a welcoming sign and meeting hall --but half the population know nothing at all It's a place no one stays for long: like a Sunday mass, or a tourist spot it's a place for the pretty and strong or that drooling, hopeful lot and if you look close enough you know that beauty is only topsoil deep that if you look closer you

i'm everything that you have ever missed

i'm back.  kind of. my camera broke.  i really would like a real camera.  but being in college and being poor = no new camera. what's new?  i get this a lot.  what is new?  nothing, really. i feel like i'm writing this at one specific person.  and i don't want to, because i've been fighting so hard to keep you as far as possible.  i hate that i can still see a human being in you when the picture i've created in my mind of you is something far, far from it.  but still. i wonder how you are, what you're doing daily, what your life is like.  is that wrong of me?  i don't want to know if you're okay, i just want to know what you are.  it's bey

Death

0 min read

You're all I think about lately. You're not a person but you seem to be following me.  I don't know why I'm all the sudden thinking of you so often but I can't help but ponder that unimaginable question.  I wish I understood you -- I wish you didn't put a damper on the living.  But what would be life, without death?  It would be forever.  It would be damaging and it would be boring.  We live to die.  But we Die to live.
