Trapped In Limbo - A poem about uncertainty

New beginnings are supposed to follow an end.

Not limbo.
That weird feeling that something good finished
but the next thing hasn't quite begun.
Yet.
What am I supposed to do?
Wait? Look? Run!
I am confused and paralysed.

The moment I understand why,
the moment everything feels right,
it's not any more.
Irony.

Feelings.
All of the feels like they say.
Internet. Reality.
All fake.

I think therefore I am.
I think that I'd rather not think.
Would I also rather not be?
Probably not.

My sentences are too short
and my ramblings too long.
Always wrong,
always somewhat
not quite what people expect.
But,
why do they have expectations of me?
They do not afford me the same luxury.

And why do I care?
Stop.
You're thinking again.
I can't help it though.
What did I actually want to say?

I feel therefore I am.
I feel a lot and intensely.
Mostly sadness.
Cliche, I know.
I wish I could feel something more original.
A new feeling, something no one knows.
I wish it was something positive though.

Anyway.
I can't change who I am.
I don't want to.
I am am me.
Just me and nothing else.
I'm sorry.

A Very Timely Transcript - A Short Story

Once upon a time there was, well, time. You see, time is a very complicated thing, kind of like humans, and, just like them it wants to exist. This, of course, is very irritating, especially when you are a time traveler. The main principles of time travel, as outlined by hundreds of guidebook writers and science fiction authors are that you must not interfere. You can not change the course of history, you know killing Hitler and the likes, and you definitely can not go back and meet yourself. You don't want to end up being your own grandfather, or something equally weird. That is the popular story anyway. What these textbooks fail to mention is, as you would expect, the truth. Time doesn't like changes because he is stubborn. And when he has spent what is, in very plain terms, Eternity, planning out how everything should work out, you can't just go ahead and mess things up. He will be mad. More than that. He'll be furious! And then, terrible things will happen. To you. ...
