Pedestal

A pedestal meant to crumble

An implausible expectation

An end that is certain

In the darkest pit of my mind, i’ve come to terms with things. Things that are improbable for some, of no importance to others, or practically invisible for most.

But I have always been sensible to my surroundings, from the simplest of gestures to the intentions of people. And I have come to terms that everything is meant for an end, and failure is the most common way of closure.

How to reach closure?

That is the question swimming in my mind like a fish stuck in a fishbowl, where everyday is the same day, every view is the same, it is just a routine till the end of a lifetime. Should I resort to anger, frustration or just take it in? I have tried to bottle it all up to be honest, and that does not work. There I am, trying to unbottle in Melancholies, my sole outlet as trying to voice out will make me a villain.

Haven’t I always been the villain of my story though?

Friends

Ever felt lonely in a crowded room? It is normal to be so, you are after all one in billions of human living on this Earth yet you are unique. So you surround yourself with people with the label ‘friends’ to have a semblance of happiness. But some are fake Some are fucked up Some are inexistent But yet , some are close to the heart. They cannot always be present for you, because just like you are struggling to take a breath each waking hour, did you stop to ask them if they are breathing fine? Selfish aren’t we? At your lowest point, look back at who gave you a shoulder to cry on, or simply a pat on the back to for you to take another step. I do not wish to dictate to you how to live your life, I just want to drag your focus to the point above. Think about it, and then consider how you should approach life. Thank you to the ones who I consider friends and family.

Sanity

 Does it heal or act as a temporary relief? If it was not for the drugs would I still be here? Would I be able to write this for you? Objectively, no. They say drugs, any kinds of drugs from cigarette to lean or heroine, will eventually kill you, some more slowly than others. But on the other side of the coin, its the drugs that will let me go on and try to leave my mark on the world before leaving it. Its just temporary relief though if I have to be honest. Its just a hit for an hour or two of sanity to be able to calm the screams in my head and focus on my legacy. Yes, this anthology is one of them, and yes it does take a toll on my sanity from times to times. But Melancholies is the least of the worries for which I know that no drugs can heal, if anything can ever heal. Again, I reiterate my question, Should my search for sanity be that destructive?
