Distraught

distraught
I was
I fought
my thoughts
my memories
of disagrees
worries
of fees
and foes
I suppose
I took
my time
and drank
some wine
emptied bottles
emptying me
distraught
I fought
I won
and now
I’m free

She didn’t know she was raised by a narcissist

she didn’t know
she was special
she didn’t know
she was smart
she didn’t know
she was pretty
she didn’t know
she was funny
she didn’t know
she was creative
she didn’t know
she was sensitive
she didn’t know
she was unhappy
she didn’t know

Sad Saul

left by his wife
he had no friends
he had no life

he was allways on his phone
so he wouldn’t feel alone

he found an ally
in his screen
and a bit of self-esteem

Als je de weg kwijt bent

als je de weg kwijt bent
kies dan een ander pad

Stephen Fry sums up why social media sucks today

“We chattered and laughed and put the world to rights and shared thoughts sacred, silly and profane. But now the pool is stagnant. It is frothy with scum, clogged with weeds and littered with broken glass, sharp rocks and slimy rubbish. If you don’t watch yourself, with every move you’ll end up being gashed, broken, bruised or contused. Even if you negotiate the sharp rocks you’ll soon feel that too many people have peed in the pool for you to want to swim there any more. The fun is over.”

Face the wretched

I know
it’s not my say
to place

but misery
is dripping
off your wretched face

I may crawl back into bed

you have passed
you are gone
now that you are dead

there is nothing left
for me but emptiness
I may crawl back into bed

Poor pin

“I would like to pin my hopes on something
but I can’t keep it together…”

A flick of God-suicidal aid

Born too early

a hundred years
too soon
I was born
having to deal
with the conservative thorn
created by humanity
I am ahead
born too early
but nearly dead

Everyone is bored and boring

nobody is crazy anymore
except the crazy
nobody is wild anymore
except the wild

everybody does the same things
every day
everyone sits
in the same chair hooray!

everybody wants change
but fears it more
everyone plays it safe
except the reckless

everyone wants to be happy
all the time
but wanting to be happy
is simply fearing to lose control

everyone wants the best
for the rest
except the selfish
and the ignorant souls

everyone is bored
and boring
how predictable
how adoring…(not)

In chains

captured
within
me
I’m locked
inside
myself
