Demotivated

decision, dilemma, life, life or death, mind, thoughts

The end of days in my head
a lot of strange thoughts spread
I can’t seem to think straight
who convinced me I could wait?

It’s a long way until the end
but things change
and it feels strange
it’s hard to follow the trend
it doesn’t feel right
It’s not day or night

Get me out of this loop
inside my head there’s a coup
it really isn’t all that bad
just wish I did not have that

All of the stress in one shot
Oh I wouldn’t drink
Let me just think
I do seem to overthink a lot
Yes! Slightly right!

A poem about death
a poem about beating death
a poem to turn into a song
a song that should be forty minutes long

Facing death and all its glory
it’s not my time yet
it’s not the end of my story
enough said
I ‘m not going to feel sorry for myself
I ‘m not dead yet!

This poem is alive
this poem will forever be alive
this poem will become a song
a song that will be forty minutes long

The news came in
I should get some therapy
everything is in the air now
I ‘ll get through this
I won’t back down

Neural Nostalgia Bliss

I think I ‘ve almost watched them all
my heroes performing live on stage
and maybe it’s time to turn the page

Neural nostalgia will bring me back
and perhaps make me happy again
even if I ‘m really happy by then

Looking forward for this to happen
it’s like waiting for an old friend to call
and laugh over silly things we recall

The middle of being young and old
feels I ‘ve reached that point with this
hope for neural nostalgia bliss

Let’s not get all that mellow though
things end and new things begin
the music though remains within

It will bring back you too some day
even for a moment it will hit your brain
the soundtrack of your life and all that may contain

The Times are AI Changing…

AI, artificial intelligence, changes, life, mind

It is not something really new
well I guess that’s my point of view
it’s been expected a while now…

Some people say it has begun
the end is near and other stuff
all I can think of really is wow…

It’s everywhere and everything
but still recognizable a bit
at least for now you can tell…

The “times are changing” is a trap
most people unable to keep up
hope this one ends well…

It’s just another tool indeed
perhaps an ego satisfying “I did!”
use or abuse is up to you…

In an already superficial world
we experience artificial more and more
change is constant, mind you…

What is real anymore?

The same things that bothered me in the past
have now got back to me and they ‘re pushing hard
now whatever I have to do I have to do it fast
this time though, it really caught me off guard

All the things that need to be done and more
I never saw this chance coming at me like that
and now I have to be even faster than before
if I really want to keep wearing the winner’s hat

Not sure if what I ‘m doing is at all the right thing
as always we take it as it goes and just go with it
no matter how hard or easy it is what life will bring
consistency is the key, I know that, I ‘ve seen it

New Life

What does it mean “new life”?
What happens to the old one?
How do you define old and new?
Questions that need no answers really

New life means decisions take place
it also means huge changes from now on
it means that situations have grown you older
not just older but wiser too

So “new life” means new perspective of future
not what you had in mind all this time
For good or for bad, not under your control
But definitely a matter of perspective

Who’s in it? Who’s not and why?
Well I guess some remain, some fly away
“new life” is just the way it is
a new way of living for the rest of our lives i.e.

Time to see where it goes from here…

Re-start Learning

change, failure, focus, goals, learning, life, mind, new things, poem, poetry, success

You need to keep learning new stuff
you cannot rely on the things you know forever and that’s tough
because things change and you need to catch up
don’t be relieved with the things you ‘ve learnt so far

It seems that you feel you ‘re getting older
and as a matter of fact you indeed are
but you need to keep learning new stuff
otherwise you let yourself fall back

If you feel you ‘re on top of the world
guess what? you are most probably not
chances are you are on your way down
and your mind’s distracted no doubt

You think and you feel there is no time
to learn new things or at least try
but the weird thing is that you never had
it’s just that now the excuse doesn’t sound that bad

You almost had believed it but something felt wrong
and then you realised it had been wrong all along
because you are not there yet not on top of the world
you are somewhere behind and you need to move on

Your secret desire to reach your ultimate goal
had your mind fooled and thought you stood tall
but the road to freedom is full of traps like this
you are not there yet you are far from finding peace

Put your head together stay focused on your plan
don’t let your desires create the illusion that you are done
remind yourself it’s hard to reach a steady state of bliss
and you should never get tired or bored of learning new things

Thoughts that are stored deep in your subconscious mind
will not be there for long they will in some time rise
they will control your conscious thoughts and behaviour at first
before they become desires demanding you to quench their thirst

There was probably a time that you rejected their nature
you knew they were bad even if they promised you pleasure
and you reacted by suppressing them into the back of your mind
thoughts you thought were bad once are now surfacing aligned

And you are afraid of them because you may not be able to control
the desire to embrace them and stop resisting from them all
because all these years have got you tired and made you weak
that ‘s why they are coming back at you now your future is bleak

The worst part of all is that you don’t know how they will return
you are afraid of the way they will surface and take their revenge
but what you fear the most is that they may reveal your secrets somehow
forcing you to spell them out while you sleep perhaps; remember… you are weak now

As you grow old most of these things start to get out of your control
you get tired your value ties get weaker and you are far from standing tall
you see need makes you do stuff and in the process you get a lot to hide
and your only way out is to tame not eliminate those thoughts along the ride

You know by now that eliminating your passions is not always a fool proof solution
by nature you are expected to bow to these desires and thoughts but that’s not evolution
your instinct tells you that a controllable chaos needs to be maintained somehow within oneself
in order for your mind to be set free from these and be able its sanity to conserve

what this chaos will be?
does it really set your mind and body free?
does it set you free from your passions, unconscious thoughts or acquired disorders?
or is this yet another mind game to acquire fears beyond of what is real?

you know you need that place to feel immunity and that is what your instinct calls a chaos
it doesn’t have to be a real place it just has to be that place where oneself allows
everything to be said to be heard to happen and to let it all out
fears, passions, thoughts, desires, suppressed feelings that nobody else should find out

Remember those thoughts that you stored deep in your subconscious mind?
they are all gone now; they have transformed in creative bits of some kind
you ‘ve set them free
you are now free
others will come but do not drift apart
the solution, the relief, the chaos you ‘ve been looking for is art

Mind Left In A Dream

I ‘ve left my mind inside a dream
and nothing can get it out
even the hard reality sometimes
is struggling for it to come around

And I am willing to pursue that dream
as long as it doesn’t kill me in the end
for I wish it was easy to fulfill it
and didn’t have my early life to bend

If too hard I ‘ll sacrifice the dream
it’s not worth to lose my mind for it
just to fulfill it and then what?
if I ‘ll be happy I don’t know it

How do I get my mind out of the dream
can I do it or will I become empty inside
because it provokes passion and desire
for me to continue its lonely ride

Lust

bad, body, enjoyment, lust, mind, poem, poems, poetry, sad, self control, sin, vile

you realise you cannot control this at first
it’s just like an intuitive endless thirst
that drives you away from your moral self
it turns you into an animal with no self respect

you know very well that your body needs this
you know very well that your mind needs this
you feel bad but you don’t really want to control it
you just let go and get on with it

and then you feel better and then you are back
you feel it was worth it and you think you ‘re on track
you pretend it never happened but you know it did
you know you enjoyed it but you won’t anymore admit

up until a point when again you can’t control it
and you just want to let go and stop being solid
but you promised yourself last time would be the last
you can’t really escape from it you ‘d better give up fast

the sooner you realise the sooner you will know
that lust is a drug that will take you down low
but you like it, you enjoy it, even for a while
and you forget that actually you think it’s something vile

you are indecisive; you want it and you don’t
you can’t escape from it but you keep saying “I won’t”
and you each and every time fail
the enjoyment of lust will again prevail

it’s not your fault that you are so weak
it’s in your nature, you are not a freak
you recognize its purpose and that you need to fall
you can be an animal but you are human above all
