Update on Myself ; My Hidden Reality

Hi! Yeah, I'm still alive. Kind of, more or less, sort of. I've been super-busy with working, organizing, and just trying to find time to eat, let alone update!

But I do have some new things for you to read, some poetry I've written recently. I can't remember if I put up my older poems (I'll have to go check on that) but these more recent pieces have gotten good responses so far.

Here is my newest addition (I'll work backwards from this point!), My Hidden Reality. It's safe for most readers, nothing too offensive aside from my usual dark thoughts.

It’s coming from each side

I can feel it surround me

Choking, suffocating

I can’t see it, yet still it’s there

A thousand tiny hands

Holding, pressing

Pinning me where I stand

I can’t understand it

Confusing, condemning

Where reality and fantasy touch

The blurry border I walk

Twisting, turning

Never-ending agony

Burning my thoughts and dreams

Searing, scarring

The guilt is overwhelming

Staining my world red

Blurring, shaping

Can you see it on me?

The truth of my deeds

So obvious, so real

I can’t take it

I can’t live like this

Shaking, trembling

I can see it now

I can’t hide it

Ending, destroying

My own reality.

-M. Hendrix
