[V] ISEKAI; Or, The Adventures of an Unruly Man and His Family in Another World.

The fifth chapter of ISEKAI; Or, The Adventures of an Unruly Man and His Family in Another World. Five years ago, I was reincarnated into this world on a rock in the middle of a meadow in an enchanted forest. It was the beginning of a new life for me. A new life in a new world. Being reincarnated was the last, first, and best thing to ever happen to me. `Has it truly been only five years? I…

[Interlude]

The second interlude of ISEKAI; Or, The Adventures of an Unruly Man and His Family in Another World. I think people are just fascinating. Don’t you? There’s something about the way they tick that makes me want to take them apart and examine in great detail just how and why they tick. I want to understand people. `People are, at their core, a sufficiently complex system of layered…

[IV] A discussion on the nature of dreams, and seeing other human beings for the very first time in my life (note: my life began a few days ago).

The fourth chapter of ISEKAI; Or, The Adventures of an Unruly Man and His Family in Another World. After finishing our talk, I ended up falling asleep on the grass after Ela assured me that she’d keep watch. She don’t really have a need for sleep, being made of magical water and all that, so I could be fairly confident that she’d be awake and watching me at all times. Sure, there’s the whole…

[III] In another world.

Things are getting weird(er).

The third chapter of ISEKAI; Or, The Adventures of an Unruly Man and His Family in Another World. Death is the end of a story,The final cadence of a song.A soul is many stories, many songs.A soul is many lives. + + + We sit in silent communion. We’ve reached an understanding, of sorts. The details of this understanding remain mostly unclear, but we’ve got one thing straight: we’re making it…

I don't think I really need that many people, I'd be fine with just one or two, People whose eyes would wander to find me when in a crowded room.

I've spent most of my life feeling lonely, It's hard not to, in lieu of circumstances, But I'd suffer a little less knowing you'd spare me a couple of glances.

It's really the smallest thing, A minutia that most don't consider, But being bereft of a single look from you can make me feel so bitter.

And so I ask, and so I implore, Just one look to spare, I won't ask for more, If you were one of those whose eyes would wander to find me when in a crowded room.

[Interlude] Contemplating the nature of a soul (featuring: me, myself, and I)

A short interlude before chapter three. Enjoy!

The first interlude of ISEKAI; Or, The Adventures of an Unruly Man and His Family in Another World. What might cause a soul to retain its shape and form after death? Is a soul truly so immutable that it persists so stringently? A rebirth, a reconstitution, is something that can never be. There is arrogance in the affirmation of the believed special, static, and immutable characteristics of the…

[I] I died and ended up in another world. Now what?

The first chapter of ISEKAI; Or, The Adventures of an Unruly Man and His Family in Another World.

Every person alive has probably wondered what it’s like to die. At least once. Maybe multiple times. It’s gotta be a universal experience, though. You can tell by the way folks construct entire elaborate systems of belief and ideologies while they try to answer this one question. Some even claim to…

ENVY

I resent all the things I never get to do. You hang out with your friends while I waste away, alone in my room. My days occupied by watching you as you spend yours doing what I never get to do.

Eyes on your face as I watch you live, in wonder at all the things that you have. It's a crime that I will not forgive. The smile you wear; my envy turns to loathing. I hate you for the life that you live.

I hate these thoughts within my head and I hate you for words you never said. You flaunt all the things I never get. I hate you as my blood runs red. I hate you so much, I wish you were dead.

Taking your life for granted, in which I take your life so merriment-rich. For my sake, I will bear the itch. Now that I am who wears your flesh, I'll do all the things I never did.

Watching other people live out their lives makes you resentful of the life you never had. The monster known as envy grows within me, giving way to darkness and madness.

Concept based on my own experiences and rooted in the skewed view of other peoples' lives that you get from social media that only makes the problem worse.

I feel like I've always been watching other people live out lives I can't have, elways wanting what I didn't have. People tend to show only the best parts of their lives on social media sites such, making me ever hyperaware of this facet of my life.

In a literal sense, this poem is about envy driving someone to murder another and wear their skin. In a less literal sense, it can be seen as a metaphor for the drive that pushes people like me to mask my traits and internalize the traits of neurotypical society in the feeling that my only recourse to be happy is to take on an identity that is not mine.

The monster known as envy grows within me, giving way to darkness and madness.

Echoes

I remember you Afterimage in my eye Needling pain In the back of my mind I remember you

I know what you are Echoes of a time Long since past I refuse to cry I know what you are

I am a thing A thing that should not be What was, but isn't A duplicate entity I am a thing

I am you But you are more than me We are one and the same You are what I will never be I am you

I was the beginning You are what came after I am the bookend Boastful, cosmic laughter I was the beginning

I am the punchline to the funniest joke Every single me that came before An elaborate setup I hope I was worth the wait And that the me tomorrow Will be worth it, too

Glass

Forever am I trapped inside a glass box, confined; I press my hand against the window-wall and you- Your hand raises to meet mine, But no matter how hard we try, we never touch.

Someday, you will stop trying to meet my hand, Turn away from my box as a passing curiosity, But I never stopped pressing my hand, and I never could turn away from these walls, Walls that surround me on all sides, Not in the way that you could.

I lay myself bare before the walls, on display; I become a display for everyone to see, All in the hopes that someone might notice me.

When you walk away, do you still remember me?

All things must come to an end, Good or bad, And isn't that so sad? Well, I don't think so, I'd rather be a moment: transient, free, than be an eternity. This poem, too, must end. Eventually, one line will be the very last one. One word must always be the very final word. If this poem went on, Persisting to no end, Then what would be the point? Where would be the sense? A conclusion cannot be drawn when no conclusion's given. No meaning made, No point taken. Mourn if you have to, And grieve if you must, Weep if you feel like, But don't you ever say die. There will always be new beginnings, you see. From present to past, tense, As from the start, I would intend, Know that there must always come The End.

if you can't hang with me

i asked you out: are you free this weekend? if you can't hang with me then are we even friends? what a lovely pair we'd be; together, side-by-side, dangling from a tree. swaying back and forth just like the leaves. let me know if you're free, 'cus i'd be so disappointed if you can't hang with me.

changes

everything changes transforms morphs into something new everything changes even you

you've become something different far more than you were I can barely even recognize you

what was once a man is now in my breath smoke in my lungs your life beyond death

the scent of your flesh roasted to perfection gives you a far more pleasant complexion

everything changes as one becomes two you're now part of me and I, all of you

soul

i am angry and i am fiery i am life that you forsake i am every bleeding memory i am every past mistake

immutable, unchanging never quite the same the sum of every qualia and product of your name

i am light and i am dark i am whole and i am part i am this very work of art i am soul and i am heart
