always on the run, digital content, generation gap, instinct, know yourself, life, people, stress

You are a creator
a content creator
do you really create content?
or just reproducing content?
so is it creator or just curator?

Young man goals
and it shows
no strategy no purpose
old man thinks “circus”
exist on opposite poles

both may be right
each one’s insight
young man going with the times
the old one watches and cries
generations fight

a mouse on the mill
how does it feel ?
being in a never ending drift
creators eventually do shift
to another bigger mill

Block

constant fight, feeling, life, modern life, mood, people, set blocks, stress

There suddenly comes an appealing thought
to abandon everything and block it all
things that have been in my possession for years
as well as habits, games, social media and peers

Block everything and everyone out of my mind
for the mind’s peace I ‘ve been trying to find
I ‘m being selfish right now and that I know
but I need some time every once in while alone

It is not simple and not easy as it sounds
the block cannot be effective when in chaos
even this needs a plan of execution but why
the execution, you know, is always hard to apply

In fear not to forget, I keep forgetting things
things that matter most to me; people not just things
these are the parts of my life I do not want to block
these are the bits of me that will get me back strong

Concentration has started to get weakened as it seems
I may unwillingly start losing my connection to a lot of these
yet I come back to them in some weird unexplainable way
finding peace through them; is an understatement to say

Yeah, you can’t set a block on those… you just can’t

Losing Balance

life, normal, people, reality, reality shift, social behaviour, social status

Reality is changing for each and every one of us
our minds are replacing it with digital counterparts
until we reach the point where reality has taken the shift
and is nothing more than just a context for the body to exist

People are getting lonely and they show that every day
all the time on their phones, mostly trying to convey
themselves on social media and platforms of their choice
avoiding to physically interact with anyone, pretending to rejoice

There is no balance in all of this and no one seems to care
absorbed on shiny touch screens, sometimes all they do is stare
lost in their minds with the idea of an effortless success
a false perception put in their heads, that only causes stress

The plan is that there is no plan and people are getting by
one after the other, these digital worlds, promote the same lie
and people are buying it because they think they are in control
just because they have the power to endlessly perform a scroll

What is normal from now on?

Stress of Loneliness

I ‘ve heard about loneliness
Once upon a time in life
They said it’s bad to be alone
No one wants that either

I ‘ve travelled through mindsets
And found out about that fear
Everyone is alone in the end
why everyone is afraid of accepting it?

And now, I can’t be alone
I cannot be alone

human, inner instincts, inner peace, instinct, know yourself, life, people, self peace

delve into your soul
find your darkest secrets
embrace them all
but don’t try to kill them
they will turn against you

feel them instead
try to understand them
and then turn them to good
use them for something better
than satisfy you

in case you are unable
try and keep them locked
far away from the real world
have them controlled
but don’t feed them too much

they will drive you insane
for they are your instincts
your animal instincts
that nature blessed you with
in order to survive

delve into your soul
find evil first and then good
while evil is inherent
good needs some encourament
from you to come out

delve into your soul
find your self of another level
meet your self at another level
it will give you enough
to move on

Recycling The Myth

impossible, life, myth, people, poem, poetry

back from the island of no return
much like everything else a myth itself
that people refer to with some sort of fear
without ever wondering beyond what they hear

hearsay all that you believe
something for the unwilling really to relieve
themselves for not even trying moving on
for never questioning what is going on

it’s tough to prove to someone
what they believe and think is wrong
it’s tough when they don’t realize
that you are trying to help them move on

so they ‘ll probably question you instead
and you ‘ll have to prove it right in front of them
and even then you ‘ll hear them say you are cheating
or you ‘ll become a wonder depending on their thinking

but you are back from the island of no return
and you are happy for yourself not for them
nothing really has changed for them anyway
they just have a new myth for each other to say
