Thoughts right now


This was spur of the moment ideas that just came to me. These concepts embody what I want to write about, what I want to say to the world. More actual prose is coming next week, after finals. It's been a little hectic lately

We are capable of so much more than we ever think we will be. The power inside of us in incomparable, and we don’t even know it. The capacity for great good and great evil is inherent in every one of us, but what unlocks that potential? Is it society? God? The universe? Or is it what we do each and every day? Our lives are built upon the visions and revisions of our lives, and what we are is more than the sum of our parts. Our history does not define us, nor does our present confine us. Our future frees us, and that freedom calculates to the true nature of our being: there is always redemption, hope, faith. We can be so much more than what we think we can be, but it’s up to us to work towards that goal. So what if she doesn’t care about you anymore. So what if you didn’t get the job you wanted. So what if you can’t seem to catch a break? The worth is in the act, and it’s up to you to find that out. Make your life the best you possibly can, and good things will come to you. Follow your own path, discover your Buried Life and you will become so much more than you ever dreamed. The world seems daunting, impossible, unforgiving, but you have something they can never take away: you.

It's a sonnet!

"Weltgeist" You wake to a cold morning light, dull, frigid; A pallor has crept around your visage. The Ghost comes again, the world-spirit Crashing down on you, I can still hear it Draining, feeding, pulling from you your light. Where has it gone? You always were so bright. This world, this Ghost, has ever been a part Of all our many lives, and from the start It has been tearing us to shreds, but now It is time to rise up, to fight the Ghost And prove that we can survive and thrive, how Powerful we can be, and as a host Of humans, we must find the goodness, bow To the moments that will never be lost.

Monsters

This idea cam,e up when I was watching all the sad social media posts at night and wondering why they always start being posted at midnight or so. Why late at night instead of during the day? Night time is when the monsters come out. They’re big and frightening, their long sharp claws gleam red in the moonlight. Some are covered in fur, some scaly. Each monster is unlike the other, except for their hunger. They prowl the town, swallowing people whole. They don’t leave anyone unscathed, and they never get full. Night time is when the monsters come out. I see them when I’m brave enough to look. They slink across the streets; their tails are swishing back and forth. Their mouths drip with saliva, waiting hungrily for their next meal. They growl and grunt, hack and cough, spit and curse. I shake as I watch them hunt, as I watch the people ground to bits between the monsters’ powerful jaws. Night time is when the monsters come out. They lurk in the shadows, waiting for someone to ...
