The Enlightener

Take a moment and breath, in then out, slowly but surely release for just a second that tension you carry heavy on your shoulders. The chest contracts then relaxes steadily now and pulse slows back down but the cold feeling doesn't quite leave. What is this frost, this numbness that bites through to the soul. Feeling less than numb, more than sober, worse off than one could tell. It seems that no light shines at all in this darkness, this purgatory like void begotten of all the warmth once known. But wait, the glare of the moonlight catches the eye of the bewildered man and steals away all vigilance, leading the man astray into the woods. He began to stumble, darkness still prevailing as he fumbled into a vast wilderness of the unknown. This pervasive black sea seemed to smother the man, his sorrows drowning out the fear as he beat his way forward. Bewildered before, now thoroughly lost the man looks up and realizes he has hit a crossroads. Seeing a sign he moves fo...

"Freedom can only exist in the mind of the observer anyways since freedom is an illusion, we're only as free as we wish to believe." Freedom, that elusive yet seemingly simple goal has evaded humanities grasp since the first human roamed the Earth. Yet in our modern world we believe we enjoy a boundless freedom granted to us by laws and a society that has our best interests at heart. This sad illusion is the pseudo-reality that we as a collective whole subdue ourselves into accepting everyday. Why? Who knows maybe its apathy, maybe ignorance or fear. Whatever the excuse is, it's unacceptable anymore, what happened to strength? Not in the typical sense of whose physically more imposing but strength of heart, spirit, soul. No one believes in themselves anymore. The world is full of grown children masquerading as adults with no conviction to stick to any belief for fear of standing outside the constantly shrinking confines of society. What happened to the honor of the ...

So it's been awhile since I've decided to use this medium to express myself. I honestly don't know why it's taken me so long to write anything, maybe inspiration has been harder to find than drug dealers, but that is the Michigan experience right there. Life has it's ups and downs, how we deal with them is what makes us who we are. We can pretend to find love in desperate places, latching on to anything that gives us self-worth without actually finding it within ourselves. I feel I have spent a long time trying to find that identity within me that makes my thoughts idiosyncratic from others around me. The trouble is, I feel I empathize way too much. Maybe it's not natural to feel other's pain the way that I do, but without the overbearing attitude of self-assuredness i can pretty much say without hesititaion that I can feel the pain of all. Because simply put you're pain is nothing more than my pain. We may experience our pain seperately, through differe...

I feel as if I have been slowly conditioned into an insidious boredom, that consumes my thoughts with compulsions to do meaningless actions to distract myself from observing the world around me; and by doing so, this boredom has obstructed any possibility of perceiving reality in any true sense and has lulled me into some fantasy world that I feel I may never truly awaken from. For the terrible truth is my whole life I have not lived, for I have had any sense of true freedom stolen from me by the very people who attempt to force me to stay in this dream world. So it seems I must begin anew, almost as if I need to be birthed again and brought into the world as an infant and relearn what it means to be human. Since it seems we are rapidly losing that very humanity that sets us apart from other creatures on our planet. As our culture degrades around us into more and more shocking events that seem to stem from some arrogant, immature desire to simply out-do others in an attempt to show sup...
