Right from childhood, I've kept a journal of my private thoughts. Funnily enough, more than prose or just random thoughts, I would often end up writing poetry.
Below is just a sampling of some of it.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The Urge to write
Unbidden, unknown
Grabs its Victim
Bares its dark side
Sinks in its teeth
Until…
Nothing remains
But the leaf
Words immortalized
Poetry in motion
Forever enduring
Timeless in a sense

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Caught in the middle
Two juxtapositions
Me the bridge
Cementing faith, absolving ideas.
Reality confused. Illusion preferred.
The mind imploded
From within and without
The mirror to the self.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Illusions shatter
Reality creeps in
The shuddering starts
From deep within
Shattering forth its cry
Emerging from within
Until, nothing ceases to matter.
Except this wild, pulsating
Scream. Rushing up.
The mind goes blank
Eyes dilate. Silence reigns.
And I realize the truth.
This is not meant to be.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Music in the background
An afternoon at the café
Smoke curls upward
People all around

Lost in my space
I lead my existence
Bound by chains
Shrinked to fit

Sounds filter through
My consciousness alleviates
Out of the zombie
Emerges a person

Real. Human Being.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Living in the midst of absurdity
Inane questions, pointless discussions.
Reaching a point of disembodied-ness
Until nothing matters anymore
The world ceases to exist
‘I’ disintegrate and dissolve
To join the wetness of the earth
For time continues rambling
Space confined to the walls
Surrounding me. Three-dimensional.
Energy, wilting. Waiting.
The ugly reality to practicalities…
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Where has love gone?
Sacred pure emotion
Blasted to pieces.
A dinosaur – extinct.
Love – obsolete.
