life is an altar
and it demands heartblood

no pain
no gain
trite platitudes more true than anything
sacrifice makes the world go ’round

gentle fingers lift up my chin

you can do it

it can be done
it must be done
they say it’s a cycle
it’s not
but if we pretend it is
it will have more beauty

when was the last time you slept?

last night
but it feels like forever ago
like you push the pedal
for gas in the car
and it takes off without you

but it’s okay
or isn’t
okay means you accept
and this
just doesn’t matter

is this why we build monuments?

About Me

In addition to writing here, I run Loreshaper Games, an indie game development company dedicated to free, fun games.

You can find us over at http://loreshapers.net or on Steem and Twitter.

Outside of Loreshaper Games, I also have a Wattpad account, where I used to post my essays and fictional writings.

I’m usually available for freelance writing, feel free to drop me a line at kyle[@]homoeoteleuton.com (remove the brackets first) to inquire.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. In addition, some other third-party marketplaces (notably DriveThruRPG) may offer a referral program. I disclose all affiliate links clearly near the link itself (e.g. by marking it as an affiliate link).
