Sometimes they play me
Sometimes I win games
Sometimes they lose me
Playing and rolling dices
Have taught me many times
That I’ll never learn to play
The game of life
For the rules are being written
While you’re at the table
And your opponents hide
Deep into your belly
And up there inside your brain
And in your wildest dreams
They all play against you
Yet they’re all on your team
I’ll never learn to play
But I do it at all times
For all I can do is learn
Till I’m ready to die
The day I finally reach
The very last level
I’ll have nothing to lose
And I’ll lose everything
Sometimes I play games
Sometimes they play me
But most times I’m trying
To pretend that I don’t
Isn’t it fun to see
Isn’t it sad to watch
The game of life is on
And I play it on my own
Addictions
There’re odd places in this world
That I go to when I’m in pain
Dreadful places of comfort
That I poorly love to hate
What the truth tastes like
The first time I’ve been told the truth
It had a metallic feeling
A mixed feeling, more like an alloy
It tasted like blood, red iron
And yet it was all blue and luminous and fierce.
Balancing doubt
Doubt if any
Truth will come to me
Doubt it shall be
To bend my head down
to the Earth
My ex keeps popping up in my dreams like an asshole
A downtown bar
A reddish fire
Wood everywhere
Family chairs
I love you
The sun has in space
Some spot in the sun
And inside it’s insanely
Drunk
Don’t be nice
Don’t’ be nice to me.
I don’t want you to be nice.
I want you to shine, to cry, and pour out your light into the world.
