it's about making yourself happy. not everyone else...
not always easy to do..

(I understand this pretty well as a Virgo Ascendant [google astrology - Virgo Ascendant if you want to understand this better])
(if you want to know your own ascendant google astrology - natal chart)

if you like what you did, you did great. <3
You're right. I was being stupid.

I've loved all the stuff I read though!

Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage
Cast in this unlikely role, ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers to keep oneself intact
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to see
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
Living in a fish eye lens, caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend
All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each anothers audience outside the gilded cage
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to see
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to see
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
The real relation, the underlying theme
Yeah baby, hello
Yeah, beautiful
 
I should have posted this for this Revelation theme:

Its summer and you walk outside and its night and you feel something in the trees, theres a breeze:

You look up -- and boom, the night sky, little lights, some bright, some dim, some flickering, all very very far away

You're instantly hit -- the magnitude of everything, there's no difference in awareness between you and your dog: you both just woke up to this one day.

And you realize -- hey we're stuck on a spaceship and we're lost in space.

You're a deer standing in the headlights of the universe.

Soon you feel a sense of calm when you realize you have no control, because

We're stuck on a spaceship and we're lost in space and we're all going to die

So we might as well enjoy the pretty shiny dots in the sky and the cool summer
breeze.
 
Where i live i can see the sun rising from my bed without waking up
There's something deeply increased inside of us, a cold/warm current
That dive us twoards a direction that makes us say to budds, "wassup"
Instead of just feeling it, i speak about empathy if you're still ignorant

Never thought a snake would bite me into the concrete jungle, but here it was
Lying underneath my reality, poison ready, effect previously, one fate from the mass
"Dreams are dangerous", but what we don't tell you is that imaginary is too,
So when you think of me, i beg you, if not ignore me at least despise me boo

I used to dress naked and fight bears hordes, that's why i created this civilisation
I take the stand, for all the assholes human beings are, knowing that no one else will
Listening to Hip-Hop is like taking a punch from where i should be at, break the seal
Dama né sou fa, da bela é mikala, wanda allah, Zion rastas bailan plata en la casa Sion

16 votes on over 1k views... thought we'd get a few more than that honestly..
Are “views” limited strictly to members though? It just occurred to me. As I’ve not considered it before.

I might have assumed maybe so, but maybe not.

Regardless, I feel your point stands and is valid. It doesn’t take too much to give a little sometimes. C’mon unvoting so far Bluelight. If you feel like it ofc, do vote please.

@cduggles really sorry for the clutter elsewhere. It was growing a little caustic, hence me going too far again trying to lighten things up. I’ll be good now I swear. Enjoy your evening.
 
if i was to hazard a guess, snafu gave everyone 1, and there are actually 9 votes...

ofc I could be wrong.. but thats what i feel i see when i read between the lines
That aside, I had a difficult pick between two poems. The other more otherworldly, nutty hilarious, unusual too, to say, inspired by 5 days Ecstasy binging no sleep, all alone in a blissful Temazepam dreamland.

I thought about sharing it here but didn’t want to derail.

I had hoped I think, maybe 2 or 3 entries per entrant would have jingled things up a bit, as I only actually have 3 I consider worthy, such the poor poet I am (evidently😉) lol.
