I hope you find sleep,

escaped me now,

some months ago…

my whole world view,

fell apart, many times,

October (insert date)

last year (calendar 2023)

demons (deconstructed)

nefarious, hungry (dystopian)

don’t feel the same, so fallible,

anxious, depressed & heartbroken,

no quantum compute, accesses,

faulty palace, sitting in peace,

decayed quick & home standing,

tragedy (chaos) everywhere,

popping balloons, dilute, delude,

deflated, deflate, deflate some more,

onslaught of things, don’t want to hear,

win-lose propose, we always lose,

can’t see clear, your dirty lens,

thinker in head, divert your eyes,

somewhere else, walk into room,

provided awe, real dignity,

conditioned belief, you’re told, obey,

observe, trace pattern,

conglomerate, ideas alive,

rickety bridge, beyond thresholds,

crying tears, can’t longer count,

all man-made, your human hands,

I wish one day, my heart un-break,

find whole breath, don’t labor through,

tides of grief, crushing thrust,

pull me under, it’s dark and cold,

fight for air, and sometimes deep,

pray it washes all over me,

host my head, sink in hands,

knees feel shaky, ground beneath,

so similar, to homes you kill,

toy with us, and brand us beast,

the rest is up to you to read,

am tired and sad, of all your hate
