^ The song of my life.

Lost my words, post your song!

"Sleepwalking"

My secrets are burning a hole through my heart
And my bones catch a fever
When it cuts you up this deep
It's hard to find a way to breathe

Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper
Shadows start to sing
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe

Time stood still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole again
It's like I'm sleepwalking

I'm at the edge of the world
Where do I go from here?
Do I disappear?
Edge of the world
Should I sink or swim?
Or simply disappear?

Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper
Shadows start to sing
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe

Sing it!

Time stood still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole again
It's like I'm sleepwalking

Wake up!
Take my hand and
Give me a reason to start again
Wake up!
Pull me out and
Give me a reason to start again

Time stands still
(Time stands still)
Time stands still
(Time stands still)

Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper
Shadows start to sing
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe

Time stood still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole again
It's like I'm sleepwalking
(It's like I'm sleepwalking)
(It's like I'm sleepwalking)
(It's like I'm sleepwalking)

Time stood still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking

I promise you no one ever really dies.

We Are All Made of Stars
December 9, 2016 by Samuel Illingworth

13.8 billion years ago the universe EXPLODED into life

Cutting through space time like a celestial knife

Through butter and

Bringing with it every permutation

And combination of events that

Will ever occur.

The remnants of that blast

Forgot the heat of their ferocious past,

And the tiny particles came together

To form elements of hydrogen and helium.

With time these clouds of dust and gas

Built bonds that would last,

Coming together under gravity

To form stars which burnt with nuclear fire.

Their temperature got higher

And in the centre of these stars, in their very core

The hydrogen and helium fused together

To form new elements:

Lithium, beryllium, carbon.

As these heavier elements were created,

The stars became so massive that they eventually collapsed

Under the weight

Of their

Own

Gravitational narcissism.



RESULTING IN EXPLOSIONS OF SUPERNOVAE



These supernovae scattered the stars’ elements

across the Universe,

Where once more they came together under gravity to form new stars

And new planets.

So our Solar System, our Sun and our Earth are all made from

The fragments of some ancient stars.



We are all literally made from stardust.



So you see, when it comes down to it

We are not black, white, gay, straight, pan or mono gender;

There are no Jews, Muslims, Aesthesis, Christians or Jedis.

The beggar in the street that you walk by,

The refugee that you sneer at,

The children that you keep locked in your camps

Are ultimately the same as you.

The differences between us are as invisible as the barriers

That you point to on your map,

And as futile as the barricades that you erect to your capitalist gods

Of famine, war, pestilence and greed.

You see we are all made of stars.

And when we finally destroy this world that we have made,

You know, the one we could have saved,

Then we will explode in a cacophony of colours,

Genders, races, creeds and political opinions.

Our screams lost to the vast emptiness;

Floating into empty space, yet filling the

Chasms

That have opened up between us.



And as we sail out into the cosmos,

We will join our hands together, united once more

As cosmic stardust that is free from cosmetic flaw.

Dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

In due time I shall be adorning the mantlepieces of the world.

Where you place your treasured possessions; there shall I also be.

You would be always welcome!

Just was passing through before going to the pub.

^ hello Kazan.

Didn't picture you as a pub goer, but have one for me.

well i already died, so there's that.

neilson_wheels, that's a beautiful poem.

Sure hope it rains tomorrow and washes all the terrible pollen out of the air.

I thought I'd pick an earlier time to be with you s this evening. My friends and I went out early tonight. A also have trouble getting through when I try to log in at 9 in the evening.

I have all my hopes in the next life anyway. No way is this the only life it’s way too messed up and unfair on so many levels.

Next life there will be a beach for each of us, no autism issues (ie so high functioning n powerful we can just think of a Coke and it will appear in our hand) , a marble palace, and we will be waited on hand and foot by those who used to be lawyers. Divine justice!
