#ending with a haiku

[wordrummager]

Muted The sky looked like furrowed fields but the lines were pink on blue; my eyes followed power cables as they criss-crossed icy hills. The air felt still and cold. Cars moved quietly in their lanes. I muted the radio. It felt like the world was waiting. It’s the end of the year, almost Christmas, a tangible struggle- balancing budgets while awaiting a Savior, counting blessings as despair lurks, nostalgia choking us like factory exhaust. Potted trees packaged by eco warriors, LED plastic trees and youtube fireplaces mimic post-war boom amid modern doom, children everywhere are smart and sad in a way that breaks the heart as the world exposes its secrets to anyone who can touch a screen. So we wait. New tires on old roads, ice crackles as winter heaves its last hope forward.

Perpendicular Lines touch but once, and then they Never meet again.

But in another Life, I would always choose to See you once again.

I think one of the biggest things that's helping me feel more certain in my transition is the realization that I am extremely good at enduring. I've learned to endure pretty much anything. I can be in a situation that I hate and just switch off and ride it out until it's over. When I was a kid it was because there was nothing I could ever do about it. I hate long loud boring gatherings but I'd have to stay until my parents took me home many hours later. I hate traveling but I'd have to endure it for weeks. It's taught me a great deal of patience, I do it all the time now. I endure long journeys, events I didn't want to attend, trips I didn't want to take, people I don't want to hang out with... It's an important skill to have. but the thing is, I was subconsciously planning on doing that with my gender dysphoria for the rest of my entire life. I WAS doing that for years, not even trying to explore what that horrible feeling was. I'm the endurer! I endure! I switch off and ride it out until it's... over.

Maybe this isn't one of those things I have to put up with. Maybe it's time to stop enduring my life and start enjoying it.

I was listening to a livestream that n-buna and Suis did back when Tousaku was coming out (it had English subtitles, thank you b_kuta) and I realized that n-buna is always Like That. He was supposed to be reading fan mail and then spent 20 minutes of the stream talking about haiku lore. The only reason why his characters all like haiku is because n-buna wants more chances to talk to everyone about his hyperfixation. This makes so much sense

I love being trans

Sure, yeah, there is The Horrors

but it's worth it

I’m adding this starting part to ensure it doesn’t happen, but sometimes I worry I’ll just accidentally make a random haiku right before I have to go for a bit, snd then return to see “surprise you got Haiku-Botted”

When I was about fifteen or so I had called my best friend (or what I called/referred him as) from a store. The experience was new to me since I didn’t have a phone at home nor did I have much experience talking to people on the phone at that time. When he answered I excitedly said in my described deep voice: “D—R. You wanna go to S—t’s house?” S—t was his bestest best friend so the invitation was readily accepted. I walked over and he and I went to the house. I can’t testify who else was with me with any certainty but the fact was the experience settled for me what friendship looked and sounded like.

I wish sometimes that I was made time for.

I wish the person I think of now was just as eager to interact with me as i am to them.

I wish I was important to them.

I wish I wish I wish.

I wish

I wish…

I wish I knew how to learn.

Слова что вес утеряли

Не передать мыслей поток

Разум что заперт за дверью

Слабость разума многих

Глупость лиц стариков

Обрекает меня замолчать

Пепел миров, что сгорели

Тьма что сорвала оковы

Лицом обернется ко мне

Месть холодному миру

Что затмил Солнца свет

Молчанием моим..

Когда я смогу быть собою

Без лицемерий и масок

Взгляд направь в небеса

Там ждёт конец нашего рода..

Сын отца, на кресте как насмешка..

И молчание, что несёт груз лишней боли.

Fright

Writer up all night /

succumbs to his story’s fright — /

no end in sight.
