the curse of a mind that analyses, questions, wonders, speculates
and wanders down paths it should not
wanting everything to stay the same
and everything to change
sounds deranged
but what was enough isn’t anymore
or maybe it still is, hard to tell
when your thoughts are stuck in a self-made cell
what should be mine is not
even though it is – somehow
there are some things you shouldn’t look into
don’t disturb the surface, don’t stare into depth
wise advice, easy to say, hard to obey
what could have been is pointless
what will be matters more
yet I can’t see the shore
I’ve strayed too far
others are knocking at my door
simplicity lies that way
meaningless things which wouldn’t cause sleeplessness
and a possible trip to the funny farm
alas I am blind and deaf
can’t see, hear anything that’s not my semicircle
my Bermuda Triangle
the one who makes me want to crawl
on a filthy floor
littered with shared deviant fantasies
and depraved tales better left untold
or push him against a wall
to place a collar around his throat
masters and servants is a game best played
when one is eager to swap roles
I want both, I want all
in any case, in life
only a handful of times
at most
can you find another mind
that perfectly aligns with yours
and never, not once
can two be divided by zero
so my problem has not been solved
writing, following a winding course
what to do now… I still don’t know
“what could have been is pointless
what will be matters more”.
Brilliant 😍

Excellent.
Simplicity is vastly overrated anyway so keep circling…

Oh, another thing: any number divided by zero equals infinity…

It makes you realize why so many people spend so much time obsessing over the pointless pursuits of celebrities.

Well, it can be fun to gossip about people who have infinitely more wealth and influence than most of us can even dream of.

You are 2 magnets, two opposite poles attracting. You are 2 more magnets 2 same poles repelling.
Here, in your words, it seems you are repelled and attracted all at once. It does make for a confusing state of mind. This happens when you want it all.
So, one day, some thing will rear up, and you will want it to the point that you will be so focused on attaining it, you will forget about some other things you want.
That’s what happened to me. Then after attainment is achieved, you can review other ideas, again. I’m selective. Life on earth is short.
