I hang up the phone
I finish my work quickly
As much as I can
Drive my uncle home
Then leave to take a shower
Before I go out
There's still more to do
But it will have to wait now
Later I'll resume
Pick up go go go
A never ending nightmare
This point is so-low

I am a whole bag of special
Transparent Pirate
All the world Is a larp
Don't take everything so seriously
⚠️ 🏷️
Nothing is for you
You go from pounding at my door
To showing up to my work
This madness needs to stop
I must implore
Cease and resist
This urge you have
To tell me every little thought
Every tiny annoyance
IDC what makes you mad
My tools suddenly break
I'm not sure how much more
Of today I can take
I have to stop
find another solution
I'm starting to wonder
If this is a fever dream
As I'm locked inside an institution
Surely this cannot be
Perhaps it is me
And I am the one mad
An asylum
A nut house
Either way
That's where it feels that I am
The phone rings again
I let out a sorrowful moan
What is it now
What more do you want
I viciously groan
I answer the call
My uncle
The one still alive
Is released from the hospital
But in need of a ride
Ok I say
I know you have no one
I'll be there soon
Just let me finish this task
I'm almost done
I'll meet you in the waiting room
#poetry
As i dash for the door
A rapping tapping
Knocking galore
This is the 5th time today
You've shown up at my door
The phone rings once more
That sharp piercing sound
Echoing so loud
Accompanied by the voice
Of this man at my door
The rings
The questions
The demands
All clamouring together
In the most vile of symphonies
As I vomit up my most fakest of sympathies
I run
I simply rush away
I stop answering
Stop appeasing
Stop entertaining
I just run
Shouting back
I'm sorry
I'm done

Ring ring
Oh the phone's sharp sting
Twenty minutes pass
Ring ring
Once more that sharp sting
Ten minutes pass
Ring ring
Again that dreadful sting
Could you come in early
Could you please hurry
I'm here
I'm waiting
No offense
But you have nothing else to do
But of this I will not inform you
With politeness I quote a time
One minute passes and again that awful chime
Ring ring
Oh again I feel the sting
Where are you
Why are you late
I'm actually early
But this I will not debate
I'm sorry your life is on hold
I'm sorry for the things you will not be told
Before I hear that ring ring ring
And again feel that awful sting
I shall hurry out the door
Rush to your side
By your demands I abide

Coincidentally
Death visits my dreams in a bar
One that I've never seen before
I had no time to process until now
I still don't have all the information
Idk how
Normally I would just assume
my drinking and smoking too much
while watching football
Is going to be my doom
#poetic Cosmic humour
You either live or die every day
You only live once
Probably
You only die once
Maybe
You either live every day
Or each day you die a little inside
Last night I watched the woman in black
At the end the main character dies with his son
Hit by a train
Reunited with his deceased wife
A happy ending in horror
And that's what everyone is looking for
What they're expecting
What gives them hope
In some weird way
Mortality is so hard for humans to contemplate
Why have to suffer tragedy only to end in darkness
With the world being so cruel
People can't understand why there'd be no light at the end of the tunnel
I think about life and death often
The fragility
The different paths people take
From cradle to coffin
The thought of death visiting my dreams
Last night
My subconscious plight
Playing with the frayed seams
I trace the edges of his hood cascading
with my fingertips
Noticing the fading
He says to me
Are you surprised to see me here
I simply reply
Relaying
You visit so often
I'm desensitized
Not fearing
And he just nods
And turns away
Quietly disappearing
My slumber later abruptly coming to an end
A call
Information I keep expecting
Another death of a friend
My subconscious seems aware
During my waking hours
I shrug it off
I don't seem to care
Perhaps I'm numb
Perhaps I'm disassociating
Disconnecting
Stowing my feelings
Emotional allocating
#poetry
(Real)
Two souls
One reckless night
As fate would have it
Destiny seemed intertwined
If only this
They should've that
One second you're here
The next your gone
The signs were there
But no one saw it coming
An inevitability
But I see no deep meaning
A lesson I've already learned
Albeit the easy way
As if I already grieved this event
A scenario in my mind
The creeping anxiety while driving at night
I wonder if the feeling will now subside
If so
I'll be told to look to my intuition
My in-tune instincts
That needless unprovoked worry
#poetry
Loss of his muse
Cancer took his wife
And in so
Along with her
The spark in his life
Once vibrant color
now only hues of the blues
Soaking in booze
Drowning in sorrow
Unable to cope
Nothing left to lose
Such sad news
Troubled mind unraveling
Self destruction
Hopelessness consumed
Grappling with what's happening
a lone soul traveling
A life he didn't want to choose
Tragedy comes in twos
#poetry
Trying to make sense of what occured
Those involved are dead
No one alive to blame
The anger transferred
The families now turned
to the bar
Looking for answers
Asking how
Why were they let in the car
Bizarre
Trying to sue
Is it the loss of life
Or the potential gain
That motivates you
Such a wretched thing
Money
Blame
Hate
Oh what death may bring
#poetry
The rain gently tapping the ground
Dimly lit streets
A crisp autumn breeze
That watery clicking sound
Fate abound
A lush flush
staggering out of his shoes
Alcohol swishing in his belly
Not picking up the tele
Mind swirling floating in booze
A ride he shouldn't have refused
The colors magnificently blurring
Light bending in all directions
Seeing double reflections
As fate is stirring
Engines whirring
revving - in spite
Screeching tires
The thought of tomorrow now becomes a liar
Souls severing
ending an endeavouring night
#poetry
My father's solace and comfort has always been in food
Faced with mortality again
Realizing that life is coming to an end
He invites me out to lunch
I'm busy reading and preparing for work
I don't want to go out
Although I know what it's all about
I just postpone
This may sadden him more
He'll never confess
But nonetheless
I just want to live my life
It's not glamous nor glorious
Humble as I stumble
I just want less drama
Not everything is deeply profound
I don't need to look for meaning
Not every event requires a meeting
It is what it is
Perhaps later
I can wonder and ponder
Reflect on the somber
But for now just let me be
#poetry
