FRAGMENTS
Fragments, oh fragments
Small pieces of brokenness
Time chiseled off moments
in detached consciousness
Shattered hope and dreams
In solitary confinement
Fear, in suppressed screams
Enforced early retirement
Retained disappointed feats
Trigger the onset of delusion
Unto bowing lowly in defeat
Reduced to utter confusion
Blasted, stripped of dignity
Unretrieved pieces of unity
Fragments of human sanity

A Gogyoshiren Poem (15)

There is a poem scratched onto the walls of my throat. No one has ever heard it, but it is there.
Kai Cheng Thom
roles reversed, crumbling in dust enough to cave in the lungs of titans. don't force me to breathe anyway, it's pointless in the grand scheme of cigar marketing. all for standing outside and watching the rays of sun stretch their limbs and lie down for the evening but the true beauty comes when all the pawn shops facing east are religiously nocturnal.
a hopper of trains, we can be out of here, we can be slugs happily avoiding the minefield of saltshakers set up to watch us perish. a tale as old as grandfather's medals, tears stinging eyes, hometown roaches feasting on nuclear Thanksgiving; part the lips and caught the tongue trembling common knowledge. that the boxing gloves hooked on the wall have touched their fair share of tender cheeks and retiring will only cause the maroon to solidify.
nap away the wrongdoings of foreign-feeling nausea. spin the story like a top on the evening reporter's desk laden with load-bearing ash-pokes the size of his ideals surrendering to keyboard gestures of love and floundering reputation.
URGENT HELP🚨🚨🚨🍉🇵🇸
Hello,
How do you do ? I hop to be in a good condition.
This is my special campaign
We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.
Every donation makes a different even if it a small.
As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.
There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.
Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .
We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.🙏🙏

Thank you all
Spreading the word forward.
I float above the debris
Freshly risen from the grave
Where moths gently flutter
And the worms quietly dance
At the rhythm of blue crotchets
Hanging from red green wing tips
Resting beyond the horizon
Where your brokenness waits
Behind a shattered mirror
Do you ever stumble upon a thing that moves something in your shell? Yeah, that's it
Perfect Butterfly 🦋
Wrote a poem and finally finished drawing it oit. Check the break for the poem:
Caterpillars gorge on food 'til they become a chrysalis
Destroying their own body inside to make a new one
Turning into a butterfly
A beautiful butterfly
Caterpillars are always hungry
Biting off more than they can chew
Take on so many things until you can't take it anymore
Hide away
Destroy what you hate about yourself
And come out anew
And then do it again
And again
And again
So when will this caterpillar
Become a beautiful perfect
Butterfly?
make themselves known
beneath the wave of madness.
i am reaching out to the bodies
and hoping they have not been
crushed under all the weight.

As Moth Is Drawn To A Flame
Attraction
like a moth to a flame
Irresistible
to the glitters of gold, to a
desire for sensuous beauties
From a harmless candle
to a dangerous fire
Folded eyes long for light
from faint familiarity
to rogue recognition
Stimulation
by an arousing emotion
Destruction
awaits the wild imagination
as thoughts lead to actions
Fools
choose deliberately
a wit without wisdom
Popularity draws the young
as Moth is drawn to the Flame

Gogyoshiren Poem (20)

it feels like most days, i’m
standing still, observing the
movement as it blurs past
my tired vision.
~K.T.
I...I got tagged? Who dare drag me out from under my rock-- oh it's you! Let's see
Last song:
Last book: Possibly the first horror book ever made: Book of Revelations : D. Due to certain circumstances, college and stuff, I'm unable to get back to more fun literature (House of Leaves, open your doors to me again, I beg you).
Last movie: I don't really watch movies, I just can't really find strength to. I suppose the last one would have been...The Green Knight? That was almost a year ago, holy shit.
Last TV show: Trigun Stampede
Sweet/Savoury/Spicy: I like all of them, as well as bitter, sour, rich...
Relationship Status: Single
Last Thing Googled: The Green Knight : v. Totally not because I was afraid I was misremembering, nooooo.
Current Obsession: None, I have very much trouble with becoming invested in things. Sure, there are some where I probe into them, but it never is strong enough to be called obsession. That being said, I am most enchanted by Project Moon and Limbus Company. Very cool, would distort again.
Looking forward to: in no particular order

Last creative project worked on: I'm not really a creative project person. I guess I made a character and short story for our DND game? Wrote some shitty poetry here and there, and there's a Google drive full of dumb WIPs, like Lancer one shot, weird scifi stuff, story about man hanging in a room... I'll never finish them, but they're here, to taunt me, to laugh at me.
