A gorilla's existential crisis

Hollow

May 5, 2020Matt JohnsonLeave a comment

They say dig deeper
As if we should
Or could
But what if life is superficial
And more hollow
than you wish to expose?

Letting go

May 16, 2019Matt JohnsonLeave a comment

Giving into the pointlessness
Of existence
Time like sand slipping through fingers
Running
Head first into the demons
letting go
Of resistance

Exist

May 14, 2019Matt Johnson1 Comment

The cliffs and the sea are not friends or foe
They just simply exist
If only you and I could see our lives
In such a way
As the sea erodes rocks
Our tears chisel and etch lines on our face
Longing to be remembered
But not retraced

Light me up

November 30, 2017Matt JohnsonLeave a comment

Light me up
And put me in your mouth
Like you do your cigarettes
Let me be your apology
In between your thighs
We’ll be the poison
That insists
On no real reason why

And so my enemy, in the end, is the same

February 6, 2017Matt JohnsonLeave a comment

I wouldn’t wish the human condition upon my worst enemy, but alas I have it and so do they.

So my enemy, in the end, is the same.

And that is what hurts the most.
