06/04/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

In the world beyond
Thinking and overthinking
It is all too much

Blast from the past:

Sometimes I think that
I’ve really been thinking that
Thinking’s overrated.

No one cares about
Patching up ruined lives when
They are wandering.

Blast from the past:

Life remains easy
For the person who lives with
No sense of shame

How long can we stand here
Pretending
Those gods are valid

Blast from the Past:

I am a diamond,
Or at least I hope all of
This stress was worth it

It’s worthless to think
It’s worthless to analyze
When no one else seems to

Blast from the Past:

Can’t think beyond so
What do you do? You bully.
Harm those who differ.

The stream keeps flowing
Despite my persistent tries
To dam it back up

Blast from the Past:

I stood with branches
Planting my feet in place while
Ideas whirled round

How are we
Supposed to build
Our fortresses of resilience
Upon only
Loneliness, stress, and exhaustion?

Blast from the Past:

I keep circling
The vortex of agony:
Cycle of anger

I sit here bobbing
Angsty yet bored, waiting out
The rest of my life

Blast from the Past:

Prisoner I am
Locked in a cage of freedom
Waiting for a key

The call deafens me
From the unstruck note sounding
Within the abyss

Blast from the Past:

Ascend the abyss
Mayo you be blinded by the
Patient rays of light.

It’s very bitter.
My heart’s bitter through and through.
Eat some. I just did.

Blast from the Past:

What form should I take?
None of these do me justice
Shadows of my truth

Why won’t my body
Let me fall asleep? Eons
Pass as I lay here.

Blast from the Past:

My feelings replay
On an endless loop, while my
Mind rushes about.
