Random Thoughts
I keep needing to remind myself to talk to people. I don’t do it enough because I’m always somewhere else. My own place and I don’t let others in. It’s not on purpose it’s just that I don’t leave. I can’t find the ones to share with, or don’t. I’m too distracted by what’s there, in the place. I like it too much. Not the superficial or quick reward, but that of great thought. It would be great to show them. They can’t see it now, it must be perfect. If they peer through my window I shall cover it in ambiguity. Not yet, maybe later, when it’s ready. The prison is comfortable and my vision is not clear. The world is great and yet the window is better. The cloud filled eyes on my head wander like the thoughts of mine. They rest on others, or really a thought through the window. Eye contact is lost when they see me, but I don’t see them. Their world is great, the journey there is hard and yet the window is bitter. My head will eternally rest on the sleepless dreams that light my room of dark thought.

Where to Go
The fear among us is commonplace Like a secret that is undisclosedSame feeling as seeing a carcass Something we are taught to be disposedFeelings can’t just fucking be ignoredIt is an arrogance not unknownWith it being so unjustifiedI will try not to ignore my own

Frosted Journey
My boots hit the ground and I quiver at every crackEvery step makes the entire body of water acheA desert of ice is all one sees when they look backHow can I make it from the middle of the this lakeI'm too far, it'll be useless if I try to backtrackTrying to grasp my body as it begins to shake

Stench of Death
Salt stings the noses of the small band of survivors crossing a narrow channel of calm, crimson stained water. Smoke bellows from where they came and ash lightly falls through the heavy fog. The men cough and tremble, each of them are scared in some way. Captain Wayland sits at the helm of the ship that carries fifteen men including himself. Many of them are too wounded to sit, let alone stand. The ones that do sit and stand, endure the odor of their comrades’ burnt flesh rising up to their noses. Captain Wayland drifts back and forth as blood runs down his chin, he gently looks upward. The tight vein of water is enclosed by large walls of stone, sharpened like the spears of giants. The fog and smoke lay a blanket over the sky dripping ash through the air and into the men’s lounges. He wipes the blood from his jaw and looks down towards his soldiers that shiver and cry.
