Sink or Swim (original poetry/dream art)

this skeletal frame
propping up its rotting flesh
as I slowly fade away
release my final breath

the vultures steady circling
the worms are moving in
my vission growing dimmer
clawing through this dreadful sin

there is no atonement
the endless weight of guilt
begging for escape
from this prison I've built

when life is the jailer
there's only one release
escape from the terminal
the mind is a disease

as the self dissolves
sifting through the skin
as my soul departs, I wonder-
will I sink or swim?

I used to spend a lot of time playing around in deep dream generator. It's probably the most visually artistic I've ever managed to be lol.

Hey you got an edge on the people who use stock photos for their blog posts -- in whatever part of the internet world / history people did that for their blogs.

It's cool that poetry is a thing people can share on HIVE.

Any further thoughts about an educational philosophy series?

I kind of fucked off from a bunch of different channels on Discord -- I do that sometimes. How is coffee and philosophy?

Listened to the latest one.

Refreshing anarchist self-responsibility perspective.

appreciated discussion format.

Cheers.

It could definitely be cool, I always feel like I need a better set up to try to do things "professionally," but perhaps it's something I need a mindset shift on. I have been putting off getting a better mic for a while, but maybe I'll finally bite the bullet.

Unrelated but also related - I bought a new computer and now I can handle live-streaming painting while photoshop has print size document with 90 layers.

Would have been impossible and crashed before.

.:.

I might be just being obnoxious with the whole 'turn it into an educational series' thing - I listened to the latest one recently, and it was a bit meandering, and I only made it through the first half or so, but what I listened to was interesting and dialog based, and nice.

I need to focus more on my own life and make fewer suggestions for others.

hear hear.
