CathexisA Poem by j.l. luna
sometimes I pretend I don't care
when I do I don't know why any of us do this when really it's passionate, fiery anger passing through me at the speed of light, spilling out through my pores and seeping into my bed sheets to be alive means to feel, to deny this denies you your birth right to the world...it's like reading your captivating, romantically written memoirs, each page pressed with your last breaths and realizing you spelled one word wrong everyone has seen it already chewing your fingertips, swallowing your skin, it's hot outside and the sun is out and you're infuriated because it's December but you smile because nobody wants to hear you do otherwise. descent into madness, the suppression of your depression is worsening your condition, maybe you were never sad at all maybe it's the serotonin after all the hustle and bustle of humans interacting in the technological age, on telephones and avoiding contact, surprised when we accidentally brush each other on the sidewalk, shocked others exist. back to your phone call it's not going to get better, but you're supposed to we laugh when we hate things, we laugh when we sort of can't stand them, we laugh at all kinds of things but nothing is actually funny anymore we are nothing but numbed chaos peace no longer exists; no hope for a treaty there are those with hope, grasping onto their false sense of security because what else is there but facing the truth. people demand more more more, better science, better math, better computers. when we give them these things it's "maybe a miracle will happen then, this case is different", never acceptance hello, this is nine-one-one, state your emergency please I just wanted to someone to ask me how I was thank you, disconnect © 2014 j.l. luna |
