the mundanity of my grief disgusts me.

i go to class late every day and no one knows i'm rotting inside. the sun burns my skin and all i do is sigh because i forgot to bring money for a cab. a scream is forever stuck in my throat; stuck and never let out because that would be considered a public nuisance. my mom asks me what i want and what i want is a break but what I tell her is "anything but dosa" because that's the answer she wants to hear. your emotions are valid but they must be kept under tight wraps from 9am-5pm, 'cause it's important you stay sane during work hours. i sit cross-legged in my ratty sweatpants and write poetry and the hypocrisy of it sickens me to no end because ultimately i don't care as much as i should about the things i write. no, all i can think of is that i need to stop and start studying plant physiology. you can write odes and ballads about decay and call autumn the season of fallen angels but you still won't spare a glance at the pile of dried leaves on the side of the road because you can't be late to work.

you're sad but it's not hip or cool or pretty or even significant. i keep looking at the clock when i break down because I can't waste more than 30 minutes on this, that's plenty of time to wrap up all my drama and prepare for tomorrow's paper presentation. no one gives a fuck about your day but they should. it should be on the goddamn news, broadcasted on every channel because it's your day. a whole day. a day of your life, your world, your everything. no one cares but they should. but does it really matter, being on the news? no one watches the news anyway. oh look, you're out of groceries. you miss your mom's cooking. you seem to have a permanent headache these days and think of calling your uncle because he's a doctor. was. was a doctor. he's dead now. right. you're still out of groceries. wake, sleep, rinse, repeat.

the mundanity of my grief disgusts me. can someone burn down this world? i'd do it myself, but i have an exam this thursday.

#fellas poetry is hard when your life is monotonous as hell #you can't even be sad in a creative way #don't think i'm romanticizing grief btw sad sucks in all versions #im just saying this particular flavour sucks ass #wow i sure am an eloquent poet #my writing #prose poetry #words #writeblr #prose #grief #monotony #time

He discovered the fact that all romantics know – that adventures happen on dull days, and not on sunny ones. When the cord of monotony is stretched most tight, it it breaks with a sound like song.

― G. K. Chesterton, The Napoleon of Notting Hill (Dover Publications, Feb 1 1991) (via Alive on All Channels)

Would Sisyphus suffer if he got a new hill? There can be comfort or struggle in monotony

Would the lack of a familiar landscape increase his struggle to make it up the hill? Or would it be a subtle comfort to have soft change in an unchanging goal

Monotony

Today like yesterday, Tomorrow like today; The drip, drip, drip, 　　Of monotony Is wearing my life away; Today like yesterday, Tomorrow like today.

What is worse is that one wonders how, tomorrow, one will find strength enough to go on doing what one has been doing the day before.

Louis-Ferdinand Céline, from Journey to the End of the Night, 1932

A wild longing for strong emotions and sensations seethes in me, a rage against this toneless, flat, normal and sterile life. I have a mad impulse to smash something, a warehouse perhaps, or a cathedral, or myself, to commit outrages...” 

― Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf (Picador; December 1, 2002) (via Alive on All Channels)
