Sup,

I've been kind of interested in interacting with y'all more if you'd like. Thought about making a subreddit, just to post random stuff that's funny, more random updates and for conversations I think could be interesting. Nothing crazy.

I wrote a poem about PTSD. Posted it the other day, deleted it. Also posted an old demo of a song, deleted that. Mental health is a weird thing and so is being a creator. Point is, anxiety and doubt been whooping my ass recently. I'm alright, not at all super depressed but just being too self-reflective. Anywho, here's my poem. Might make it part of a song?

"I've been seconding guessing,

Can the arts be a weapon?

Armory is extensive,

It's a bit of a blessing.

Why is that a line in this show?

Unintended.

A User Error or collateral damage?

I'm not bleeding, I just wish I could sleep.

In my dreams, I feel loved and unique.

I've been through things that'd make Jordan cry.

But men's minds are memes.

These things I will keep.

Things that when people ask "how's it going?",

"oh, you know..." with a vacant stare at my feet.

Each situation is thought with all outcomes.

I don't know which ones are real.

Oh, How do I feel?

Alone.

Promise, I'm okay though.

Got a complex with a view.

Scared of heights and hurt by the truth.

A third eye without depth perception.

Asking me "how do you handle what happened to you?"

I don't have answer.

I can't disconnect.

Between the beaten path and how I react when you tickle my neck.

It's all objective.

Art could be a weapon.

But if one's for the better,

Then that's all that matters.

I just wish I could sleep.

Sorry for bitchin'."

I hope everything in your life is going well or at least okay. It doesn't rain forever and even if it feels like it will you're allowed to get an umbrella to help a little ya know?
