Streams of Consciousness

Struggling.

We all struggle. Feel alone. No one.

Not alone. Maybe not.

Vision narrows. Losing hope.

Hopelessness.?

Blinkers on. Claw them off. Vision expanded. Ambiguity.

Bullets or butterflies. Both. Life.

Search for a spark. A crack of light.

Reach. Cling to it.

Knuckles hurt. Pain. A familiar sting. I still feel.?

It passes.

Let the moment pass.

Another moment stares at you. Stare back.

Unpredictable fate.

Stick around. Check it out. Apprehension.?

The next moment, and the next. Next.

It mightn't taste so bad.

Slightly better. Less shit.?

Hope.

Sometimes, it's all we have.

I smile.

Life’s Polarities.

It's good.?

It's bad.?

It's fun.?

It's fucking dumb.

It's worth it.?

It's not.

It means something.?

It so doesn’t.

It's exciting.?

It's incredibly dull.

It's here.?

It's gone.

It's there.?

Then it's not.

I'm keen.?

I'm over it.

And then it’s done. Finished.

Pretty simple really!?

Dichotomy

Crystal clear water.

A looming black cloud.

Atop a mountain.?

A wind that stings.

A smiling face.

Scar tissue barely hidden.

A fucking good song.

No one dancing.

A baby’s first steps.

Parents spewing venom.

A crowded space.

Crushing loneliness.

A high.

A low.

A win.

A loss.

A compliment.

A vicious prick.

A warm hug.

Rejection.

Nothing. Something.

Something. Nothing.

Moments. Perspectives.
