thoughts of solitude (11)

when
i turned the world back on.
my departure went unnoticed.
i thought
but i knew
i was not missed
by design
i create opportunities
where i wish to prove myself wrong
but the wall was built by me
and only
can be brought down by me.

thoughts of solitude (10)

we are born
with limitations imposed on us
others (want) think
we will walk in the footsteps.
it is up to us
if we dare choose
to acknowledge the shackles
realize the key is in hand.
normal doesn't exist
new was become standard
thought constantly shifts.

can you shift with it?

thoughts of solitude (9)

sometimes
i let myself speak.
after the conversation
i trace the pattern
and analyze what was really said.

thoughts of solitude (8)

i thought a desert was needed
sand rock sun
but the drive
diminished intentions.
i reconstructed the barren land
my apartment cave island
solitary confinement
led to escape freedom
with this boy within a rectangle.
i pace watch think
trip over myself
enjoying every single second.

thoughts of solitude (7)

there is a conversation
that we can not have in our current state.
this conversation
can only take place
face to face
where no words are exchanged
only heartbeats
touch
silence
worth more than life itself.
simplicity in its natural form
where two share one
through separate windows
and blind fully accepting it.

thoughts of solitude (6)

i reclaimed the night
let versions of myself
talk freely
letting past present
speak to the future.

thoughts of solitude (5)

this silence
is beautiful.
i bask in its emptiness
let it fill my mind.
i care to share it
in the moment
with a selected few
but if i did
it wouldn't be the same beauty
it would cease to exist
so i leave traces of it
in thought
scribbled across sheets cotton
for future typing.

thoughts of solitude (4)

imagine if
this world
universe
collection of space
is part of another beings consciousness.

various voices
bounce around our head
guide us
contradict motives
but make up who we are.
others are reflections of us
they speak what we try to ignore
time tells if we decide to listen
tap into our full potential.

what if
we
constitute the thought process
make up the brain
synopsis fire
stars go nova
conflicting ideology
sucked into black holes
synergy
of another entity.

thoughts of solitude (3)

there's a new mandate.
i took charge of the project
a new prison is to be built
no gates walls towers
boundaries
to stop thought or action.
this new prison
will not exist
but encompass all
it will hold the essence of man
allow it to run free
to gain acceptance
a trade must be done
from one shackle to another
a change in thinking
only to be made
by the prisoner.

thoughts of solitude (2)

we creatures
dwell on the air bed
of a spinning rock.
we creatures
roam the floor
ignore the weight from above.
we walk through a substance
because we cannot see it
winged creatures exploit their vision
cast shadows on the bottom dwellers.
we creatures
build concrete steel ant hills
elevated by technology
cursed with imagination
scared of change
pushed to keep moving forward
without asking if it's necessary.

thoughts of solitude (1)

i had to disconnect
temporarily
and let the filter catch all.
the stage was set
by a past voice
that chose wisely
and a present voice
that chose wisely
so that the future self
can relax
reflect
explore the badlands of (in)sanity.
