in the land of joc

give me fragments,

i'll piece them together,

fantastically, or terribly... 
depending on the day,

or my mood

but most definitely the subject at hand.

share bits and pieces,

i'll string them into a sequence,

a fantasy,  a nightmare ...

then cut the thread and do it over again

in my head.

no in betweens

when my mind 
is running away from me.

Corrosive thoughts

Eating away at me, like a fly caught in a Venus fly trap, slowly.

Abandon all hope...

                 Sleepless nights, how well I know you!  And how adamantly I avoid following you, pathway to slumber.  I'd much rather be reading, feeding my mind...loving, and looking into her eyes...in his embrace, his heartbeat drowning out all sounds.  And necessary as you are: I feel you cut into my time, shorten my life... I fight  you to the point of exhaustion and then, alas!  the joke is on me for I fall into you, no matter, and because, of how hard I fight you.

It's brighter, with both ends lit.

2012
Focus on my education
Be happy
And move forward

In life
In love
Something's wrong
If it all stays the same
We have to keep doing, improving
Learning and earning
Always be trying for something
Until the time you go under.

Consciousness.

With my every thought and action
My activities ripple the surface of life
And with each passing moment it's clearer
The ways that these choices are affecting my life.
