-A piece I found in my notebook from a few weeks ago I must have forgotten about. Grey skies, windy. Free-flow writing whatever came to my head.
A pale backdrop viewed through cold spectacles The wind spreads fingers over the nape of vitality, it reminds me why this is so necessary Light peeks through the traffic above to refresh our minds of the distance that separates, A virtuous act to cause...
Smile
Originally posted May 7th, 2010
I hold control over emotional warfare. A grand display of visual forgery, you could frame my visage and label it “Armageddon”. The warmth of my eyes thinly veiling the ice storm beneath, barely holding back the ineffable frost of true self. Threads away from the end, teetering on the head of a pin. Breaths leave as flames. Words destroy worlds. But it...

Let my memory pass through you as quickly as a rational thought.
Cards
Originally posted April 15th, 2010
The strongest mind is nothing more than a titanium house of cards. As you drink it in, the question passes,”Then you equate the commonfolk to a regular house of cards? If this is so, we are different variances but all the same! We all stand strong!” No. The commonfolk are but paper cards. A house must be structured properly, nurtured, and maintained...
Small
Originally posted March 30th, 2010
Can’t you see? The small things are all we have left. The small, innocuous things that go unnoticed by the modern age grinder. They are hidden in plain sight, there for you to utilize at will. Use them, for one day they will expire. And when they expire, we will be quick to follow.

Okay, so for this I had an idea pop in my head a few days prior to writing this. I wanted to start a piece with words that all began with the 5 vowels A E I O U, in that order. So I took it a step further and mapped out what numbers the letters are in the alphabet, and they are 1, 5, 9, 15, and 21. From there, each successive line went to the next letter...

Originally posted February 12th, 2010 I take it back, it’s not like I feel nothing. I’m in a self-inflicted state of mental and emotional paralysis, and I feel fucking everything.
Order
Originally posted February 2nd, 2010
Aid everything, neglect nothing. Neglect self to aid others. Neglect others to aid self. Neglect self and neglect others. Neglect everything, aid nothing.
Dream
Originally posted January 24th, 2010
When pictures vanish, words remain etched: “I really like you. Stay with me as long as you can” I feel more in dreams than I do in real life.

Originally posted January 22nd, 2010 No, it’s understandable. If I were you, I wouldn’t want me either.
A friend's concerned letter
Originally posted January 11th, 2010
Hey Max, Hey kiddo, how’s it going? I know this is incredibly unusual for me, but its been so long since we’ve last seen each other that I thought it would be appropriate. The infrequency of our late-night meetings had me waxing nostalgic, especially as of recent. I remember years ago, we were as tight as could be. You and I, we would see each...
Checks and Balances

When your heart is empty, pour out your mind. When your mind is empty, pour out your heart. When you break even, you break free.
Wretch
Originally posted December 10th, 2009 My greatest advantage and my biggest weakness share the same end result: I feel nothing. Was this really what I strove for?

Originally posted December 4th, 2009 The Holy Grail of humankind is finding that feeling of inexpressable happiness and holding on to it for as long as you can. How’s it feel knowing you live your life solely for the pursuit and retention of a fleeting emotion?
Caught

Spend your week longing for the weekend only to spend your weekend longing to be someone else.
Shroud
Originally posted November 3rd, 2009
Oh please, keep the future shrouded. Because the shroud is the only place that my happiness has left to hide.
Allow

An idea is birthed. A proposal opens its eyes. A concept creates a hairline fracture in its shell. A colorful, imaginative explosion contained within a small rocket sits an arms length away, with a vibrant orange flame licking closer and closer to the fuse. A darkened shade of midnight shows the faintest sign of lazy clouds moving slightly ajar, allowing the...

Hatred destroys the mind and body in ways that drugs and alcohol cannot. The blackhearted could envy the cheerful drunk or the laid back stoner. And they do.
Observant
Originally posted Sepember 16th, 2009 While the books on your coffee table are left open, the book inside you remains shut. It seems yours was a cover I judged wisely.
Palpable
Originally posted September 15th, 2009
Do we promise you the world because we would give it if we could? Or is it because we know it’s all going to eventually come crashing down? Instead I promise what the world should be, and make it so.

When your thoughts become re-runs, change the fucking channel. Unless you’re like me, and you’ve lost the remote.

You’ll know you’ve been brooding over something way too long once you’ve realized that you’re no longer treading the beaten path, but you’ve become the path itself.
Repetition
Originally posted May 1st, 2009
If you know it’s wrong, why do you continue to pursue it? You may have your reasons; I’m still searching for mine.
Regression
Originally posted February 9th, 2009
It’s quite the feeling, self-discovery. Putting the pieces together to finally view the entire picture as a whole for the first time. It would be quite the satisfying moment if the ending picture was a positive one. What are you to do from there? How are you supposed to feel once you connect the dots to spell out a huge Fuck You? I find it to be quite...

you’re staring right at it. don’t talk about the problem, the problem is obvious. stop describing what’s been described a thousand times over. stop staring at the problem. don’t shut your eyes and expect it to be gone when you open them back up. don’t expect an easy way out. don’t allow it to engulf you. don’t...

Over time, i’ve come to realize that we don’t know anything about anything. The government lies to you. The media lies to you. History lies to you. Publications lie to you. Teachers that teach from said publications are teaching you lies. People that use religion as a weapon, or as a vehicle for their own convictions, lie to you. People closest to...
