The Authentic II cannot see untainted,
The world without the warping windows.

An illusion of inconsistencies
Stolen from society.

start to
spill.
The buttons on...

The Burden of Being
All day the wind
has tormented the trees,
causing branches to whip

to rip and destroy
what is vulnerable.

It has become a habit, trying

If Only You Knew
If only you knew the struggles I have had,
many were very sad.

Wake up weary hermitWe are the power,
that enlivens body-mind,
yet strangely we prefer trance.
In this lucid dream,

I am only curiousI sit beside myself and think,
And try to evaluate my life;

Between our world and...

That I've been unkind...
