Another Year That Mattered (Birthday 2024)
Another Year That Mattered Birthday 2024 By J.C. Solis What is it like to be much older still? For all through this life, I’ve yet had my fill Of the wonders and joy that I have seen Of kindness and hope, of which I still wean What is it like with one year that has passed? Of these memories which I hope will last And the making of more, I will now gaze At the next rising sun, my life’s new phase For twenty-eight years I have come to know The joys and pain that, to me, Life would show And with this, I hope to live for more years Without fear, even as my death draws near And so, I hope, through this birthday so sweet I’ll still have strength not to admit defeat…
Chaos blasting through brothel doors Eyes wide and begging to be sliced Floccinaucinihilipilification finally on the cover of Every book, contorting the faces of Mothers and fathers New life, slaughtered strays, The same bed Over twenty years of Envied filth Blood whispers poems of Revolting purity The fun is over, immediately Angels return, freshly jaded Moans truncated; replaced by cries Freedom falls to the rotting floor like Useless, diseased meat Life like a dark comedy Love like off-brand candy Lies like oak trees Language dressed in those same lies, Welcoming those who dance on mountain-long feathers to Keep beasts friendly and the land vast, diverse, and Healthily harmful A prize that cuts the towering fool with ebony knives ကံမကောင်းစွာပဲ၊ အချစ်သည် ရွေးချယ်ခွင့်ရှိသေးသည်။

The Nihilist (Remastered)
The Nihilist Remastered By J.C. Solis Have We ever even had a future? As our sinful lives have closed these doors These pretty and significant moments Are now no longer with us anymore We never cared for what the future brings We never agreed to our own reasons We never clung to our fast-fading hopes We never had this Hope to believe in We never surmised the things that we’ve done Would ever have consequences so dire As our world rots and our hearts turn to stone And the whole planet starts to catch on fire We kill and we murder, always the same For we only have ourselves for this blame We pursue this dogma with great bloodlust We cut and we stab and we hurt and maim For all these things We have done to ourselves Were born from the fires of our baleful hate We deserve the results that We have now Since We enjoyed the pain that we’d create For this is human nature at its bleak This Nihilism that is all around We no longer believe in the meaning Of our past joys and
You tried to claim my independence Trying to take my fighting soul Why won't you leave me be You're already causing me enough grief I've dealt with you, For so many years Living under your roof Hiding all of my tears Holding my anger Boxing up my fears Reaching my limits Stop clogging my gears Where's my other family Turning a blind eye Watching me suffer Waiting to see if I die I've suffered your trauma Hearing all the drama Caught in middle Stuck inside my head as I wither Let me live, Or just kill me now Stop circling around me laughing Chasing me, Running me down I don't owe you anything I won't give you anymore of my life You've already killed me once I won't give you anymore of my lives I'm done running away from all of you 12/29/23
Call out my name Summon me into your heart I kissed your cheek My heart melted, falling apart Our first date Sitting by the moon Watching the fireflies light our night Glistening the evening sky 12/23/23

A Community Christmas Display
To see decorations glittering through the countryside at night I went out for a drive There were multicolored strings wrapped about fences and house eaves inflatable Santa Clauses visiting with snow people in yards and on roofs and glittering snow flurries projected onto garages while lit Christmas trees peeked out past curtains at living room windows and many bright candy canes All was quiet and peaceful but for some reason I couldn’t help but think of how much the whole community when viewed from above would resemble one enormous holiday display made up of individual efforts
Ring a bell Signifying my atoned death Childhood laughter Taking my last internal breath My coffin is midnight flavored Marveled in jewels Ceremony for a king Droves come out to see the final testimony I lay still An eternal poker face I’m cold as I was in life I’m still crying inside I’m lowered into the ground Committed to a restless rest My name quickly forgotten Remembered for not doing my best 12/23/23
If I was a guillotine I would tell a dream, Of death and carnage Laughing blood through my teeth Misery is a joy Feeding of my little toys The shadows coming forth for a feast Dining and feasting on human meat Look at me The fire burns in my eyes Babies being sacrificed Going to place where souls die I will take you to your demise You fell for my deceptive smile I will claim all of your lives Agony is your only salvation
I’m a star Distant and far away No connection with the earth Humans play in distant days My heart is lonely I try to get close No matter the distance People still see me as a distant glow I want to be social Attempting to close the gap My world is isolated Setting neighboring traps The more I travel The more it hurts I’m starting to doubt Not believing in my self worth 12-19-23
