Losing Hope in Friendship

La.

I’m awake.

Find a new creation.

Genesis.

AI and outer space.

Hey.

Let’s take a new ride out of here.

Strawberry jam fills up the insides.

Myth and crystal cane…

Lost a friend again.
Hippie rides,
Mid-dream daze –
We’re all mentally insane.

Fun times –
Laughing at the outside world.
Hey, it could’ve been worse today.

Man.
We’re God’s creation.
I’m so sad.
The egoistic self wants to fade,
Yet having the ability to do
Is so hard to make.
So let’s find a new way.

Drunk on the ceiling –
Drugs all night to a broken radio.
These - aren’t my buds.
These - aren’t my buds.
Okay!

No more tempting me this time.
I’ve lost inside to broken faith.

Now, nothing seems to matter.
Sleeping hasn’t been so much fun.
God! Come down and help me.
Come down and help me now!

Sick.

We’re all sick.

Sick.

Inside and outside.

It’s like a box to me.

Cold March mornings:
Can’t write anything today.
Shaw Barnard all last night.
There’s nothing to say.

Thinking about friends who have passed away.
All the things I’ve could’ve…

Man is but a little thing.
Man is but a little thing!

Externally read.

Man is a little thing.

God is a big thing.

Yeah.
They were all drunken bards –
Singing one song –
At the bar.
Cigarettes in the ash tray.
Because white powder is just freakin’ crazy.
No, I’m not going away.

Jesus died on the cross.
He took my sins away.

Melt away.​

Certainly... interesting. :) And weird - at least not what I usually see in poetry (since I don't see a lot of poetry :D).

But good job! :thup: Nicely written and unique.

Don't know much about poetry but ees naice!

Very Hippie-esque.

Covers a diverse range of ideas and has a matching list of references, I liked bits of this, and your use of grammar and punctuation is refreshing.

I liked it.

"These - aren’t my buds.
These - aren’t my buds."

Commenting on the individuals you are surrounded by... or subtle weed reference?

Yeah, not everyone does drugs.

Though I did enjoy the poem.

I'm talking 'bout friends. I personally do not do drugs or drink alcohol... but there is a struggle. It's complicated like all things usually tend to be.

Thanks for reading.

I really liked the formatting that you use for this poem, it gives the subject matter a more laid-back feel, even though what you are saying within the poem is actually serious.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats

    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
