Neuron networks

They appear like little snowflakes
Fine and tiny
Disappearing and melting even before they hit the ground
They appear like sun rays
Light and warm
But they never make a sound
They appear; so fleeting
These thoughts of mine
These thoughts that keep me burning and yearning
But I fail to make them shine.
They appear as people
and they appear as monsters.
They appear as flames
or even burned out matches.
They surround and drown me.
They revive and kill me.
They are part of me as much I consider myself being part of you.
They appear in batches
They appear as branches
They appear and disappear when a positive idea hatches.
They appear screaming 
They're behind bars and they're pleading.
They appear bleeding;
but they never stop feeding.
They haunt and consume me
They keep me locked inside myself
Will they, will I, ever be free from the confines of my head?

I see the scars around my wrists and ankles

You come into this world free. A dreamer. Then chains begin to form around your tiny wrists and ankles. It starts with religion. It is inflicted upon you. You are not even old enough to read and yet religion has been thrown at you. The chains are carved with your first cross, star, moon, ohm. Then one miraculous day for those around you , you start to stigmatise your thoughts. You say your first words. You have now started to confine meanings, to create boxes, to mumble labels. The chains are filled with the alphabet. You grow up a bit by bit. Feeling free and happy. Asking questions and absorbing the answers given to you. It's time to go to school. New clothes, new backpack, a cool sparkly lunchbox and pictures to keep as memories for this wonderful transition in your life! You learn about rules. Rules of friendships, rules of success, rules of mating, rules of dividing adding multiplying and subtracting, rules of standing out, rules of power, rules of language, rules of p

Ode to a pessimist

You look at the mirror and all you see are the faults. The faults that others supposedly love. What is there to love when the soul is shallow of human inadequacy? You try to look at yourself from the inside. The corrosion is too much. It is not worth fixing. You should try to buy a new self. People leave you. Bleeding. They don´t care. It makes them happier. You resent that. How can they actually do something to make themselves happy? Can´t they see that they are as destroyed as you are? You never choose consciously or subconsciously something to make you feel better. That would be too selfish. You destroy what does make you feel better. The future is just repetition of you carrying yourself through the same dark paths. Not much to see there. Black. Absence of colour. Absence of them. Absence of him. Absence of you.

Όνειρα καρδιάς..

Κανείς δεν μου είπε σαν μεγάλωνα πως ψέματα θα έβρισκε μονάχα η ψυχή μου. Ονειρευτικά έναν κόσμο ουτοπικό. Έναν κόσμο γεμάτο αγάπη και ελπίδα. Κανέναν δεν τον νοιάζει πια. Όλοι έχουν δεχτεί πως ο κόσμος "έτσι είναι", και απλά τον διαβαίνουν δίχως ερωτήσεις. Γεμάτοι με συμφέροντα. Δεν είναι πως δεν έχω μεγαλώσει. Έχω ήδη μάθει και πάθει πολλά. Αυτό δεν σημαίνει πως έχω μάθει να το αντιμετωπίζω. Πόσο μάλλον να το δέχομαι. Και ας με πουν ιδεαλίστρια και ονειροπόλα. Θέλω να ζήσω σε έναν κόσμο δίχως συμφέροντα και διχασμούς. Δίχως σύνορα και θρησκείες να μας χωρίζουν. Δίχως κομματικά και στιβαρά πιστεύω που σου κλείνουν τα μάτια. Θέλω αλλαγές! Θέλω καλοσύνη. Θέλω να λέω σε όλο τον κόσμο καλημέρα και να το εννοώ όσο σκατά και αν είναι η δικιά μου. Θέλω να μπορώ να στηριχτώ σε έναν συνάνθρωπο μου χωρίς αυτός να με παρατήσει για το δικό του καλό. Και να μπορώ να κάνω και εγώ το ίδιο. Να αγαπάω πραγματικά χωρίς να ζητάω κάτι. Τόσο πολύ που έστω και αν κάτι με πληγώνει να με διακ
