Iāve been battling with subject matters and metaphors for the past day or so, as iāve been eager to post a mausoleum quality Substack;
I was looking at subject titles such as āhow not to surfā and āprogressive dissonanceā
Subtitles like āstay proneā and āregressive disciplineā
Truth is - Iām dead. Thereās no more of a direct way of addressing the matters.
My daze is infinite,ly disrupting my person. I canāt corroborate, much less exonerate. The man in the mirror. Heās the shell/fish, not the dinner plate.
If I was alive, Iād have a grain of confidence, a dash of love, optimism, & warmth.
But since Iām dead, I have none. The cold is present and the sheets are wet. Not from/sexytime. Just tears and red whines.
When you look at the numbness that is dormant inside, maybe I have been dead for a much longer time. Complicit acts of inconsideration, breaking hearts and minds, ruining friendships like theyāre worth $5,99. Iād trade all my sense for a couple like minds. Seems like Helen had a great life, even better than mind.
Itās only right that now is my time. A knife in the back has been sharpening for much too long, swiftly buy my own hand, I try and prevent the stabbing of self. But itās not for sale. You canāt buy hands of time, itās the drain of sand that will take away minds.
As many times as you kill me, I still have some pride, and maybe that/s whatās disguised to keep my heart beat upright. No matter how dead I want to be, I could never take action against my own me. I could never act intentionally and inconsiderately with life, no matter how much sand I get pounded by.
Maybe itās the feeling of all the things I desire being 200 million miles away, maybe itās the broken clock reminding me that I passed my time, over to the next of kin, in the form of a post mortem document.
Will; my life amount to all I believe it can or will I fall victim to the quickness of sand?
