THE JOURNEY

 Title: The Journey

 

It’s all good guys

There’s really nothing wrong with me

The knife on my wrist was a coincidence

It’s an experiment I wanted to try

It’s not the most logical but I’d still love to try

It’s separating the soul from the body

Dangerous?

Of course, it is

Who ever discovered something great without taking risks?

Over the top?

Not sure myself but I’m willing

What am I looking for?

Peace

Yes that’s all

Am I okay? Of course, I am

It’s all good

It’s always good

It always has to be

Doesn’t matter if I’m breaking

Drowning

Hurting or even dying

It will always be good

You want to help?

Not interested, but thank you.

I’m good.

 

These are my thoughts on life

It’s confusing, unending, and idiotic

Plain, misconstrued, and enigmatic

I find it odd that people live

Find it odd that humanity can thrive

For you live only to die

Humans kill and destroy

Yet it continues

This mystery called life

The one choice we don’t get

Yet a burden we must bear

If my experiment is successful it’ll be meaningless

Because I doubt I’d possess life after the first experiment

 

I would be watching the world move

In all its glory and awe

In its complexity and simplicity

People living life with discipline

Going about their day earnestly

Doing the best they can as best they can

I find it amusing but inspiring

People surviving and calling it living

Bound by constraints and suppressing their demons

But I’m watching the world move

In my new body

It’s light and invisible

Nobody notices my presence

But it’s fun this way

I quite enjoy it

Because now I can watch the world move

 

Love lives

These are the absolute best

They’re comedic and enthralling

I find myself drawn to them all the time

I watch the world move and the antiques of these lovers

Drawn by hormones till a bond is created

Sometimes tears are shed

The once “inseparable” lovers break

Insults might be hurled

And of course, it’ll hurt

I have one of my own

It’s pretty decent and I cherish it

It’s quite hard to find girls who tried my experiment

Even tougher to find one who loves me

Love lives

Don’t know much about them

So I’ll do more research and get back to you

 

Being an emotional wreck is tough

It always hurts

There’s always something to think about

Nobody ever understands

My thoughts are always racing

So I can barely get enough sleep

Lucid dreams aren’t always far away

But it’s all good really

Can’t even trust anyone to help

Can’t trust anyone at all

Being an emotional wreck isn’t always bad

Sometimes it’s worse

 

People always think they know me

It’s a funny and intriguing dilemma I face

It’s always Jay vs. Joshua

They never know which is which

Two personalities but a million different combinations

Distinct yet almost indistinguishable

It’s fun sometimes

Other times it hurts

Other times I’m conflicted

But these days I don’t care

Nobody notices me anymore

So that’s another problem my experiment solved

 

Wait you didn’t know?

You thought I was still alive?

I told you about the experiment earlier

I thought you knew

I thought you’d ignore me like the rest

It seems like a really fun one-sided trend

It’s all good though so don’t cry

I enjoy being this way

But this is really awkward

I really thought you knew

 

Another fun memory I have was the day the streets called

My lover and I nearly dissipated

Our bodies are slowly losing their tether to this world

When the streets called

I pretended not to hear

It got louder and louder

Cabs blaring their horns to pick me up

When the streets called I was scared

I sold my house so I had nowhere to live

I’m too damaged to share with anyone

When the streets called I had to be smart

Evade the alarms

It took a while

Took a lot of effort

But the machine was fixed

The streets stopped calling

My lover and I still had our bond

It was all good again

Not like it could be anything else

 

The journey continues

It’s going good for now

It’s been tough and rough

But I’ve got a lot of buffs

The journey continues

It will get harder

But I’ll get more tools

My Arsenal will widen

And I’m pretty sure I’ll survive

Don’t know when it’ll end or how

But it’s all good

I’ve got my ethereal body and my lover

So we continue our journey to an end unknown.
