self-suffering no structuring, sedating the self into suppression. synthetic attention, searching for something to stop squandering. surviving and not striving, the self seeking its own sedition. stop systematically surveilling, supposed to start scrying.

vulnerability left a vacuum and i fell back towards aversion, avoidant. vanguarding myself versus the vestiges of the vanity of past egos' pain volleying itself into the now.

she looked down at me,
"i value that,"
hearing, "bring that up for me,"
i did, arriving tired and eager,
she wasn't there.
looking down, i saw her,
tending to herself.

looking down at her,
she looked up and said,
"that matters to me,"
hearing, "bring that down for me,"
i did, arriving hopeful and needy,
she wasn't there.

i looked across and saw her,
"i need that,"
why aren't you there when i bring it?
"i'm embarrased, i didn't care for you"

i walked away, looking back at her,
tending to herself.

why mustn't they love me, as i mistake longing for love. why mustn't they hate me, as i mistake shame for hate. replacing intensity, with severity. mundane in reality, delusion in anxiety. #poetry #self-reflection

attention, affection, your call,
you finally chose me.

nervous, anxiety,
is this finally happening?

words, innocuous, i thought.
no smoking barrel, a hole in my chest.

catch the casing as it falls,
i look up and you're gone.

pleading with myself,
that you'll come back and sew it shut.

grip the casing tighter,
till it burns a hole through my hand.

a satire of self-worth
Satirization of self-worth:

Do you think that being human is acceptable or reasonable?
Who told you that? Who told you that it was ok to be human?
To have feelings? To experience pain?
To have thoughts and beliefs that others may not share?
To have needs?
Who told you that it’s ok to even think that you have value or worth in the world?
How dare you?
Everyone else is human. Everyone else has a right to exist.
Everyone else knows they have value and worth.
And It’s Implicit. But not for you.
Because you know that you don’t have worth.
You are always wrong. They are always right.
NO one will see you or meet you where you are.
And if they do, you will forget, and discount that occurance.
Because it is neglible in the scale of your own lived experience of self-devaluation and invalidation.
How dare you even consider telling yourself that you are worthy?
Of love, of life, of healing, of value.
To exist is to be seen. To be seen is to be known.
To be known is scary.
Because then they will know that you are not worthy.

it came from a place of sincerity. i don't know how or why, and i won't presume to, but i didn't mean to offend. i didn't miss the irony.

At the checkout, she was beautiful, and I held it all in. I know it doesn't mean anything. I know this is projection. But did I do something wrong? Was I good enough in that moment? "Do you want your receipt?" Sure, thanks.

not anymore
Not anymore

For just one hour
Like the clouds had parted
The sun shone on just me
"Do you feel this too?"
Buried my heart inside your words
This is what I always wanted
"Please just don't get too attached"
But I was already there
I wanted you to hold my heart
But I could never see it clearly
Aching and longing, it’s not your fault
But is it too much just to ask
For tiny little pieces back
I told you what this meant to me
And you said I feel too much
Now I know I wanted more than you could give
5 stages of wanting what I never had
I set my distance
You took silent offense
I tried to repair
"I liked talking to you"
The light beneath your door showed me just enough
But I won't hold all this weight myself

"how have you been?" can't say what i think "same old" can't say what i feel "but how have you really been?" you won't hear it anyway

had a rot day. awful anxiety. hated myself. sat through it, just noticing. went driving to make some space. couldn't be me noticing cause and effect. couldn't be me recognizing the value of self care. knowing i've been here 1000 times before, never sitting with it once. nope. definitely not. not i.

was in a vc and caught myself becoming dysregulated. thought they weren't engaging, but we were just disagreeing. felt frustration and the urge to unload on them. not fair, they were speaking in good faith. should have left earlier. not because of them, but because i was already past my limit.

said something self-deprecating to a piercer and watched his affect change like i’d accused him. clarified i wasn’t mad, just being emotionally honest. he relaxed instantly. we went for a smoke later. i'm still surprised i said the right thing to repair the rupture.

my mom called with a tech problem, almost panicked. realized that it didn't feel right. i wasn't the only one who could fix it. she called me to be her emotional sponge. told her i couldn’t help. she said “oh, okay” and hung up. still feel like i did something wrong, even though i know i didn’t.

self-hate is seductive because it feels like penance. but it fixes nothing. it helps no one. it freezes you in shame and traps you in the same pattern, damning you to make the same mistakes.

learned about asdot and asplain today. didn't even know 4-byte ASNs existed. hopefully i'll remember to divide by 65536 instead of 65535. thanks chatgpt for translating 0-context cisco docs

i made it clear how i felt. then i get "i liked talking to you." opens the door just a crack, and i'm left holding all that ambiguity. would've liked to be met with the same vulnerability.
