Sinking Ships
The Sea Of Broken Souls
Every drunken kiss gets abducted by the abyss of misconceived thoughts that fool us into believing we have a genuine connection.
In reality, we are solely feeding off each other's despair and disparity while pointing fingers elsewhere, too petrified to admit that all we experience in this life we subconsciously create ourselves.
We cling to any source that brings us temporary happiness until we realize it's all an illusion, then we get bored and relocate our attention to something new and temporary.
We are all too broken to truly trust and believe in one another, so we fall in lust instead of love and when shit gets too "real", we sink the ship and swim on to the next.
A vicious storm of broken hearts shattering as the missing pieces sink to the bottom of the sea never to be found again, leaving all of the wounds exposed with no chance of healing.
We are a lost generation, brainwashed by this false sense of reality for which we have destroyed ourselves to abide by, all whilst losing the real meaning of living a genuine and fulfilled life.
We Are Pirates of The Sea of Broken Souls.

Just Another Monday
Monday It was a gloomy Monday morning, as my alarm woke me from my sleep. Snooze. I laid there with my eyes shut for about 2 minutes before I found the motivation to lift my heavy and tired eye lids. Hearing the faint Montreal traffic and honking, breaking me from my peaceful dream that I am desperately trying to stay in. My only true way to escape, well my healthiest way to escape. Time to face another day in the jungle with about 3 hours of sleep in my system, not like it's anything new to me. Another night spent awake staring outside my window at the stars, wishing I could be abducted from this corrupt planet. Since early in my childhood, I always felt like I was different, like I didn't belong here... Like I was from another planet. Some days, I am really convinced that I am. Other days, all I want is to feel "normal", whatever "normal" is. It's funny though, the days I feel the most "normal" are usually the days that I feel like I don't belong. I guess it's because that is when I truly see the reality of the chaos we have chosen and accepted to live in. We are living in this invisible mental and emotional war that our subconscious has learned to normalize. We now think to ourselves "C'est la vie!". But, is it? Really? Is this what we have to live for? Have we become so brainwashed and obsessed with ourselves that we forgot to find the true meaning to a happy life? We are living in a pandemic of narcissistic ways and it is only getting worse. I mean... the most narcissistic person I have ever known was elected President of The United States Of America. Need I say more? As an empath myself, I feel like I am truly living in a wasteland of sharks, trying to make with through while staying true to myself all at the same time.

Great poem! And very true! We allow ourselves to get easily brainwashed!
So much truth here. Great job and congratulations!
I'm new here and this is the first story I read, good read.
You hit the proverbial nail on its head. I know many people like this and they would probably tell you that I fit right in (but I'm really trying not to); I'd rather be me but that isn't easy, now, is it?
Beautiful story, thanks
