I go to nature,
To heal.
Mother Earth rocks me,
With her gentle rhythms.
Solitude in my womb,
Replenish lost energy.
Expansive air fills me,
Stretch the vessel encasing me.
Truth outside of conditioning,
Found in biological forms.
Emotion must follow nature,
Reason guides behavior.
Quell my rage,
Center my soul.
Anger sharp as a knife,
Protection in the world of man.
Existential dread
Tighten and paralyze
Compulsive soothing
Fear of unknown
Embrace darkness
Lean into terror
Mere mosquito bites
Perspective rendering
Many realities
One death
Ego dissolution
Loss and gain
Flow forward
Pack up this life
Leave the extra
Drop the pain
Choose wisely
Only love
Can be carried off
Into the afterlife
Constantly glitching,
Troubleshoot parameters.
Internal functions not fixing,
Crack open the case.
Hardware looks fine,
Slightly dusty in parts.
Thorough cleaning in order,
Busy satisfaction.
Error messages abundant,
Programming is off.
Who built this device?
Rewire the mind.
Well-oiled machine,
Slip ups nonexistent.
Coded by gods,
Reformed by technicians.
Eyes cast downward,
Cool observation from above.
Narcissistic delusions,
Dimensional ripples of pain.
Extend out compassion,
Flailing helpless creatures.
Drowning in sorrow,
Oceanic floods.
Emotional intolerance,
Dysfunctional regulation.
Pictures glued to sockets,
Ripped sticker residue remains.
Occupy the mind,
Present in the body.
Astral planes explored,
Cultivating stillness.
Rhythms clashing,
Cacophony of sounds.
Unnatural activity,
Sound waves close in.
Escape the noise,
Return to nature.
Push out your heart,
Embrace the expanse.
Chilling voids,
Cruel apathy.
Human behavior,
Inconsequential.
Eliminate yourself,
Join the nothing.
Connect your soul,
To all of existence.
Black and white thinking,
Absolute terms.
One or the other,
Binary boxes.
But life lives in the middle,
That messy in-between.
Churning, dynamic chaos,
Where beautiful pockets hide.
