Solipsism
The view or theory that the self is all that can be known to exist.
I find myself
In their minds.
Looking around on the inside,
Peeking through the lenses
To see what draws attention,
And listening to their thoughts
And what they mention.
I need to know.
I have to know.
But it’s gone too quick,
And known too slow.
A mind reader’s confusion
Remains the real delusion,
Still, reality quakes
Knowing that not knowing
Is all that we can prove.
And our own minds and perspectives
Is how we base our truth.
About the Creator

I don't live to write, I write to live.
Poetry is what I need in order to feel human again, and again.
Let me transform the unspeakable.
I hope my words can reach you.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
