A rush of confidence

It's not that I feel unstoppable
Like I can't fail, like I can't fall
It's just that, when supported I feel able
To give a try to anything at all

And if I do falter in my steps
I will find supports by my side
There will be no regrets
Just a gladness for having tried

The depths may be deep
But I will not be left alone
There's a hope I will keep
For those only separated by phone

It turns out, all the confidence you will ever need
Comes from friends who want you to succeed

Nephilim

Oh Nephilim, you giants of the ancient world
Who stood above the heads of all the rest
Physical stature that unfurled
To make them seem like the very best

You fallen ones, once sons Godly
Now lie near-forgotten in the dirt
Just some words in scripture's body
For your figure, descriptively curt

So we do not know if your height was real
Or simply rhetoric for fragile men
Whether you walked with mighty heel
Is now all but forgotten

It is comforting, if sad, that time will erase us all
All we are and have ever been
Save for maybe a word of our fall
Like that of the once mighty Nephilim

If the world does end

 If the world does end
I hope we get a chance to say goodbye
To embrace those close to us
And share a final meal together

If the world does end
I hope there's a chance to say a prayer
Try to come to terms with what will happen
And make up our minds, at last

Mostly, I hope the world doesn't end
But if it does, I hope there's a chance
However brief
For us
In our final moments
To show our humanity, once more

Mind on repeat

An assault of thoughts
Within your own mind
No escape
No exit to find

You normally distract so easily
So why not now
Such arrogance
That you can think your way through this somehow

Thought. Thought. Thought again.
Brain on repeat.
Thought. Thought. Thought again.
Give in to defeat.

The solution? 
Force yourself into the world
Make your brain process new information
See friends
Absorb art
Create art

You will notice the thought by its absence.
