Last night I spoke to God. I asked him if the afterlife exists. And he said, “You know I can't tell you that.”
He was specks of dust floating in the sunlight, the delicate breeze flowing in through the window, and the gentle hum of the streets lined with cars.
I asked him if that's what he really looks like. He told me, “Your guess is as good as mine.”
I asked him who was right, if it's okay for me to be Atheist, if we're all destined for Hell. He said, “I’m as ****** as the rest of you.”
I asked him if he speaks to others. “I speak to everyone in a way.”
I asked him why he spoke to me. “Why do we do anything at all?” he replied. “Why do birds fly, plants grow, winds blow?”
I told him that's not a proper answer, and he let out a half-hearted laugh. “I suppose you might be right.”
Pots and pans clanked softly in the other room as my mom prepared dinner.
I ask him if she knows he's here. “I'm always here, aren't I?”
I asked him why he made me this way. “My child, you ask far too many questions.”
I asked him what living billions of years feels like. He paused in thought for a moment. “The time passes quickly when you learn to stop counting the seconds.”
I asked him if I'm hallucinating. “You tell me.”
The sun hung low and bled over the horizon.
My head grew heavy and eyesight fuzzy, and I could’ve sworn I felt the warm embrace of my childhood.
When I awoke, it was 2 am and the room was blanketed in darkness
The twinkling city lights were as bright as usual
And the darkness held me softly.
idk bro. i wrote this while half awake on a long car ride

blood covers me.
Thick Hot and Persistent
i'm drowning within
consumed by my own sins
the pool grows,
and with it my disdain is too
I can't cope,
i cant escape
It's within me.
idk tbh but enjoy

I can't tell you I know why
I think I know the things I know.
But somehow, I think I know,
Some Things I probably shouldn't know.

And I know how not “knowing”
Things you think you're supposed to know,
Can Keep you from ever knowing—
ego’s like to lie and say we know.

We all know we'll never know,
Everything with all there is to know. .
And Not knowing what or when to know,
Ensures that we might never know.

There's one thing I'm sure we know,
Its Most of all we'll ever know,
Are things we'll never really know,
Believing we already know.

I know there's things that I don't know,
And you might think you actually know,
But you know something? I think we both know
Neither can know what the other knows.

Though we both know of things That
we, as people, thought we'd never know.
Until that moment hits us hard
To let us know. “Well, now you know.”

But I know there's a higher knowing,
That knows think I know, but don't.
I think it knows the way my “knowing”
Seems to know but can't and won't.

And it's not like I even know
you don't know what I know. You know?
I just know there's something that knows it all
That we'd never want to know

But If you really think you know,
This thing I think that no one knows.
Then that would mean I didn't know.
Something I would've sworn I know

And I don't know just how to tell you
Of things I hope you'll never know,
Cause I'm not sure I know
If either one of us can even know.

Some say that the world will end in fire, and some say it’ll end in ice
Some say that the world will end in explosion, the cause of the despise
Some say that we’ll move to a world we’ll learn to love, to miss our home
That we destroyed, So we’ll fly away again into the stars but still we are alone
Some say that the world will end in darkness, when our beloved light goes out
Or the god that is said to rule us, will tire and we’ll never know what the story was about
Some say that the world will end in nothing, for we’ll not comprehend it when it comes
We’ll be angry or upset, in our last moments, or perhaps holding the ones we love
I don’t know how the world would end, but maybe it’ll end when we do
The earth will grow back into the place that it deserved to
Or maybe it will end when the world breaks apart, unable to hold itself any more
Or maybe it will be when we are the ones to tear apart, ****** and full of gore
Or maybe it will never end, and though we will stop life will continue on
In a universe without us, in a universe where we are all gone
Silence of the world, slowly rocking itself asleep
Our cries were no more, nothing else to believe
Perhaps we were not meant to be in the start, for this world is out to ****
And battling nature, we’ve begun to feast at each other, our own blood what spills
There are a million ways that the world will end, and for us it seems important
But we continue to ignore that we are the cause of almost all of them
Maybe the end doesn’t matter, because at the last page of a book we cannot write more
We do not write the story, the path of fate, we know not what’s in store
So maybe if we work to make it better than it was, and maybe make it last
And not be stuck in our heads about who to love, when the world’s ending so fast
Perhaps we don’t need a war, and maybe we need unity
But there must be some sort of end, even in eternity
We can just live today as if it doesn’t exist, smile some more instead of smiling so less
The people that will come will go, and it’s okay to make a mess
Remember to clean up, for someday this will all end, best to make a home out of nothing left
Let’s leave something so the ink doesn’t dry up too soon, write our own story
While fate writes ours too

would I sit and immerse myself in it's warmth or choose to be alone in it's presence? Would I accept her hands wrapping around my body in the still silence? Or would I coldly reject him and mope when he says nothing at all?
I am trying to sit with myself more. If you are confused about my pronoun usage, I am genderfluid and I use all of these. I think they work for how i feel towards my emotional (sometimes spiritual) self vs my physical self and how I project that self onto others vs what's happening outside of my mind. I hope this poem makes sense even if you aren't genderqueer.

When I touch my arms I can’t feel them anymore
Of course I have arms and can feel the jaggedness of my skin and the soft texture of hair
But when I touch myself it never feels real
It’s a mental fixation within my brain
That tells me each and everyday that I do not exist in a world that feels so conscious to me
Everyone seems to have it figured out
What they like, what they love
hate and despise
Everyone has their lives in boxes
And I can’t remember what’s in mine
It feels so pointless as I write this poem
Who will read it?
When I’m all alone
I don’t feel my presence and I don’t feel seen
It’s funny when you didn’t cut, but you still feel the bleed
And people ask “why do you bleed?”
My response is “I tripped as I crossed that street.”
They don’t question, because I tend to make mistakes
They are what got me here in the first place
So maybe if I let that kitchen knife go that deep, or if that lady kept typing on her phone as she almost hit me in the passenger seat
If mom used protection instead of wanting it between her legs at just nineteen
I don’t know how to stay, but I’m too scared to leave
So I just keep bleeding

A boy
Lives inside me
Beneath my skin that I paint with foundation, blush and dresses made of linen
He climbs my thoughts like tree branches and screams as loud as a lion
He watches in wonder as I trace my lips with liner and spray flowery scents on my arms, neck and face
He cries as men look at my figure and shout that they want a taste
As the boy I thought I loved touched me anyway
In places he doesn't even know how to say
The little boy goes back to a long time ago
When he was in a spotlight and was told to go
"There's no room for a boy when god chose you to be a girl"
So he lives inside of me
Watching me grow into the "women" I am
But he will always be there
Rolling around and being a lion

5.27.25 (4:13 pm /16:13) yea so i was perhaps maybe having a major panic attack
I hope I feel what you feel when you found your dream.
I wonder why you found yours, while I can’t even find mine.
I want to steal your goals — but that’s not the kind of person I can be.

I dream of being a soldier, but the darkness inside holds me back.
Taking lives isn’t in me, yet I still want to chase that dream.
Sometimes, I feel left out — even in my own world.

There’s a deep wound in my chest — that feels impossible to heals.
I want to become the person I see in my dreams but I can even stand on my own.
Life feels strange, like I’m already gone.
I’m alive in flesh but dead in soul.
Didn't  think I can stand on my own two feet.
I need support — but I hate needing anyone.
Suffering in silence is safer than suffering with you because your just a human so you can judge me too.
I don’t think I can live with you — even for a week because I feel my body getting weak.
It has a lot of story I pour in this poems,some are about my dream of becoming a soldier and also becoming the person I wish I could be,and a person that really needs someone to give support but hate it or just can't let my ego fall,and a feeling of being left behind,you saw your friends found their light while your still stuck in the dark isn't that sad?I mean we're just humans we can't control the emotion we call envy...

Shooting stars shine bright
while they fly through the cosmos
ascending to the highest heights

But all that goes up goes down
And the highest pay the biggest price
For as they once had glory, and world-wide renown
Now they have only fragments of the perfect life

Crashing down forgotten,
spiralling away
Our bodies with sickness rotten
our minds withering with decay

There is bit one thing that can save us
One thing between us and the noose and rope
The brightest shining star of all:

☆Hope☆
