The Solipsist Insists (Original)

in #story9 years ago (edited)

The Solipsist insists that I exist
and every night it's the same
one-sided two-way conversation
that dissipates by morning.

I wait in the wings and observe,
I follow the day like a stalking shadow,
I nip at the dusk and tease evening
so I can live and debate again.

We are the walking dream
of some angsty teenage god
suffering from long days
and longer nights.

When we argue, it is with ourselves.
When we loathe, it is us we hate.
When we love, we understand we are one.
When we dream, we once again live.

The Solipsist doesn't like this,
the independence of free will
housed in the control of a dream,
a lie given life and a truth absolved.

But each night the conversation,
the dreams, the love, the fear,
the uncertainty and respect,
flood back in caricatured faces.

Each face one with the face that sleeps,
yet here I stand and here I exist,
as the Solipsist insists.

Haha I'm just a boy with a keyboard, looking at a decentralized social network and asking it to love me for me ;)

Also, I'm loving that new jade piece and your recent photo contest entries... very beautiful work and intention, friend :)

Hey bro I appreciate the compliment and support. I especially appreciate that you like my intention not just the work it self. To me that is where the real power is.
