Earth, earth, riding your merry-go-round toward extinction,

TEXT ID: And the moon, under its dark hood, falls out of the sky each night, to suck at my scars.

"As It Was Written"

Earth, earth, riding your merry-go-round toward extinction, right to the roots, thickening the oceans like gravy, festering in your caves, you are becoming a latrine. Your trees are twisted chairs. Your flowers moan at their mirrors, and cry for a sun that doesn't wear a mask. Your clouds wear white, trying to become nuns and say novenas to the sky. The sky is yellow with its jaundice, and its veins spill into the rivers where the fish kneel down to swallow hair and goat's eyes. All in all, I'd say, the world is strangling. And I, in my bed each night, listen to my twenty shoes converse about it. And the moon, under its dark hood, falls out of the sky each night, with its hungry red mouth to suck at my scars.

When a customer comes up to me when I didn't have a line and says, "Hah, you were waiting for me, huh?" I look them dead in the eyes and say, "For a long time. You are the chosen one."

These aren’t forever people & who really is? you, can’t love ‘em so don’t try. it’s not yet time to fall all over again so don’t boether bother. Keep leaving. You will be the one to leave them this time. and not a Her you, but a ME you. leave on your own terms. Fuck an obligation. take your time. rushing into things leads to mistakes & regrets. You want to help people, so offer it. Can I help you? with sincerity. keep your sincerity. be cheey cheery. happiness is not necessary, & positivity is about PERCEPTION.

As It Was Written

Earth, earth,  riding your merry-go-round toward extinction,  right to the roots,  thickening the oceans like gravy,  festering in your caves,  you are becoming a latrine. Your trees are twisted chairs. Your flowers moan at their mirrors,  and cry for a sun that doesn't wear a mask. Your clouds wear white,  trying to become nuns and say novenas to the sky. The sky is yellow with its jaundice,  and its veins spill into the rivers where the fish kneel down to swallow hair and goat's eyes. All in all, I'd say,  the world is strangling. And I, in my bed each night,  listen to my twenty shoes converse about it. And the moon,  under its dark hood,  falls out of the sky each night,  with its hungry red mouth to suck at my scars.
