Let's write a senryu together - Part 1

[kwawk]

I am an android
held together by wire
and a crazy brain

@Darren White -
I've found myself drawn to this thread frequently since you started it, before I even tried to post myself. This senryu poem you posted many months ago is one on which I've been fixated, and read over and over - the best descriptor of my life, like you read my mind and articulated better than I ever could.
Bloody fucking brilliant.
Thanks for this valuable thread.

I have copied the senryu into a document which I'll keep updated on my laptop. Because it's such a valuable document of our feelings. It's moving and very special. And since I have no idea how long, and how many words a post is allowed to be I thought it a good idea to keep it safe and together.

 

[Nix]

ok , i have one.
I am a caged beast
Kicked and beaten I bear teeth
Open cells are lies

 

[victor-victim]

when i close my eyes
the same old movie is on
infinite rerun

 

[victor-victim]

i will find a way.
yes, i will overcome it.
i am not finished.

 

[kwawk]

it's all just a joke.
fuck me if I cant take it.
roll with the punches.

 

[victor-victim]

death is not the end.
time and time again i rise.
zombie walking tall.
.

 

[victor-victim]

in a world of woe.
we suffer to get tougher.
we gain from our pain.

 

[victor-victim]

the face of evil
stares at me through the mirror.
nothing to see here.

 

[Induna]

All at once I Bloom!
Glorious, Abundant, Whole,
I breath life at last.

 

[.aseity]

leave it up to god.
unwanted child be gone..
safety in numbers?

 

[victor-victim]

another new day.
so many things i could do,
but i do nothing.

 

[kwawk]

You're not serious
You must be delirious
That can't be the truth

Kwawk, what a great senryu to capture the denial that many of us hear. It wasn't that bad. It never happened. What are you crazy!? We know those words hurt almost as much as the thing they are denying happened. Thank you for sharing this.

 

[kwawk]

how am i doing?
you don't really want to know,
though you ask as if.

@jeffel - mi hermanito, it is reassuring for me to know that you are getting validation, acknowledgment, and support in your life from people who truly give AF about your well-being. Keep doing yourself righteous, Youngblood.

 

[.aseity]

run away from this
close my eyes to disappear
hiding between worlds

 

[kwawk]

if they haunt your mind,
their voices still disturbing,
they're not really dead.

 

[jeffel]

I can feel their stares.
The pressure to change the truth,
And make them happy.
