Sameness Of The Lingering Present
Pandemic Poetry by Lizgonmad

I think,
That the positive of this,
Is the future,
The newness that my heart shall nurture,
Nonetheless,
How long will it last?
Until it becomes, once more, the boring present,
or the nostalgic past?
How will I remember these days of prison at last?
"They fall" like boulders,
Smashing all that is, can you hear the blast?
And what is "all that is"?
Can you be more specific?
Or is it just the bigger picture?
What about a small rock causing a massive fissure?
A pebble that became a beach...
What about these thoughts
That insist on clinging to my skin like a leech?
Do they matter?
And this, maybe irrational incomprehensive chatter
Should I listen to it?
My imagination runs wild
Wanting to eradicate this chronic pain
But this imagining business yet runs quite mild
Cause there's no solution provoking a single stain
On this very naughty inner child
Maybe, there is nothing that can be done
So, I'm just here, plotting against Freud
Thinking, that maybe, I'm different
And approaching the undone
But in the end, I am just like any other ant
Mesmerized about all this brain material
Contradictive bullshit
That books already "sang"
Maybe, there is nothing that can be done
So, should I just give up?
and listen to the realistic song
That annoys my ears most days,
That one I force myself not to belong
Perhaps, should let go of the image that I thought my life should be,
And learn to enjoy and find joy in the story that I can actually see
Be grateful, says the world,
Be happy, stop thinking
Says the Internet troll...
I sigh, a million times a day
I sigh, so it fucking goes away
I sigh, and imagine it all dissappearing
But yet, the darkness keeps on starring
Oh my, am I ever gonna be cured
from this chronic sighing and mostly assured?
Again, I say
it shouldn't be that hard
To do the simplest of thinks
Which is breathing and living
However, living stings
So, I insist on just leaving
Cause everybody jumps when it stings, right?
Thus, doesn't seem to be live saving...
You're just running away
From what life really is about, so don't be afraid
No pain, no gain
No cry, no laugh
No solution, no stain
No suffering, no craft
No sting, no living
And fuck, no more of this shit, I've had quite enough!
I think, the positive of this,
Is the future,
The newness that my heart shall nurture,
Nonetheless,
How long will it last?
