Like a ghost
It haunts you
Grabbing your heart shaking your soul dry
Whispering: "Take my hand"
Closing your eyes and letting it lead,
you find yourself in a grey purgatorial abyss of smoke and mirrors.
Ghouls everywhere moaning in misery.
Waiting to be saved from their loneliness
You wander like the rest for years, maybe decades. No schedule or ticking just an ache that never suceeds
Suddenly a slam! A switch! A wake on the other side of the bed! The voice of reason pierces like never before.
You awaken abruptly.
I think to myself "This is not it. There's gotta to be something more. They're not right for me. They're not the one. I gotta get off this carousel to nowhere.But I wont be ashamed of my humanity. I WONT let you use my humanity against me!"
I am free
I'm on a new timeline
Though I may look back in nostalgia or curiosity I would hope I am allotted grace same as our maker
Disclaimer: I had a drink before I made this. Just got tired of not putting the sad somewhere. Anyways, cheers! Fuck loneliness! Also fuck AI. Let's make crappy art together lol :)

that part about getting off the carousel to nowhere hit me so hard, because i spent years trapped in a grey haze after my ex left, just accepting crumbs of attention because i was too terrified of the empty silence.
Right? The toxic dopamine loop
when that hollow feeling starts creeping back in late at night, i put ice cold water on my face and put on a terrible 2000s reality show to drown out the echoes. just giving your brain something totally mindless to focus on helps break that haunting loop before it pulls you under again.
Good idea! It's that damn haunting loop though. Gah!
writing this out tonight actually take some of the weight off your chest, even just for a few hours
It did
This is beautifully written and so true to how I’m feeling at the moment.
Is it? I thought is terrible hahaha. Well I'm glad you feel seen
