Solipsism
Society is but a fragile foundation of my own making
How can I know I'm not the only one?
Aware and yet completely alone.
You say you love me,
are you just a mirror?
Mirror in the sky,
What is love?
🌫
I think of the pain in the world,
Wondering why I would dream it up?
A nightmare
Hell on Earth
Why would I think this much?
🌫
Am I you, and you me?
I think, therefore, I am.
Yet, is everything I think
All my own making.
A world in which I have the power.
🌫
If the power is mine, and mine alone.
Perhaps I can make the choice
To bear witness to the things I want
Changed.
Maybe that would be enough.
My story is but my own.
And if it ends too soon,
Only I will know.
Nothing is true.

We All Must Go
My heart is heavy, but I cannot cry. And though I know we all must die; I still find myself asking why. Life comes and life goes, death comes for us all young and old. It doesn't matter who you are, rich, poor, healthy, or not, we all must go; no need for shock

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Love this one Jazzy!
I feel you in every poem you write. You are so good. I love this. Good Job lovely!
I loved this poem, Jazzy. It felt very much like a poetic reflection to me. The last line reminded me of a video game I love, where the character says, “Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted.”
Great conclusion here.
This reminded me of the saying, "Be the change you want to see in this world". Loved your poem!
We all create our own universe. Well done.
This made my head implode but in a good way 😁
We can never share our experience of existence with anyone... So we really might just be imagining all of this 🤔. Great poem jazzy 👏🏽👏🏽
