Cold Pizza At 5AM

Cold Pizza at 5AM

Cold Pizza at 5AM by kalika
I wake up screaming
swimming in a sea of nightmares again;
covered in sweat,
heart racing, jaw clenched.
There you are when I'm dreaming--
an earthquake; I'm trembling.
How did I let you crawl back in?
You make me sick,
of that I'm adamant.

You Can Find Me

You Can Find Me

all the commentary’s unnecessary

when i walk with those not at rest;

so i sit at the cemetery

when i need to clear my head.

they say death is hereditary,

so i don’t fear my final breath.

there’s peace in being secretary

for the thoughts left by the dead.

you can find me laying by mounds

beside the freshly dug up dirt.

i’ll be listening to the sounds—

witnessing silence go unstirred.

i stare longingly up at the clouds

wondering why i’m still here on Earth.

this’ the place to bury all my doubts

to pack down all my fear and hurt.

On Purpose

On Purpose

what is a purpose anyways??

a dogma turned down for felicity’s sake?

a word to the wise paraphrased,

into which the world buys initially by mistake?

what is your purpose for really??

to use “truth” to skirt around morality?

saying youth aren’t wise to query;

to spew worthless lies then deny adamantly?

what does your purpose mean to you??

dusty words representing their world’s maker?

protection for all you’ve been through,

is it a mechanism preventing failure?

what does your purpose say about you??

does it help people understand or hound you?

a version of you that sprouts true,

does it reveal what you haven’t amounted to?

“purpose” — does it truly serve us?

does this notion do a disservice to some?

it’s a thought we shouldn’t purchase..

if purpose’s value’s worthless or “zero sum.”

Is this all AI?

haha. no. i write all of it. just the mad ramblings of a lost girl i suppose.

but the pictures are not mine. they are AI and made with NightCafe, and i edit them in Canva. i make no claims to their originality. Though i do draw. just not fast enough to draw something for each poem or song.

The poem ^^ I’m Free features one of my original drawings.
