You only get one chance, one opportunity to get it right.
Inhale.
Flex you fingers. Twitch if you must. Rest your shoulders. The other end. All that matter is the person on the other end.
Everything is calm. Every breath carefully controlled. Every heartbeat vivid, consistent, stable.
Exhale.
Surgical precision. Everything is calculated. Everything considered.
No doubts. No worries. No uncertainty.
Pull.
Miss.
Shit.

Sense
Gaze upon its wonder. Listen to the beauty of the sound. Feel its exquisite design. Taste the elegance of its magnificence. Breath the electric it bestows upon you.
Here's a radical thought, next time you have a bad idea, don't do it.

Length
It's like, holding a bowl shaped vase of sorts which is filled with water but also cracks all over. The water still leaks as you hold it, only slightly less so.
It's like, trying to digitally stop a leak in a boat. It helps, but it's unlikely to help much in the long run.
It's like, how putting a pillow over your head only blocks out so much sound.
Do you think, if we walked until our legs bled, and kept walking, we would come closer to understanding everything?
Do you think, we could miss things we never had, things we don't remember, things we can't so much as conceive of?
Do you think, the world would stop spinning if everyone just managed to get along?
Everything is so damn distant.
Hey, self, maybe if you stop hoping long enough, you'd forget that too.
Hey, self, stop pestering me.
A field of memories. A void sky. Tell me, why do they wilt into such an unsightly thing?
Everything becomes irrelevant. Regress regress regress. Turn back time and everything becomes irrelevant.
One step in front of the other.
Hey, self, do you think if I keep walking I'd forget everything?
Hey? Self?

Cipher
Time and time again I warned you, you have to be careful with these things. Otherwise you might as well be scooping water with a sieve.
You have to plan it well you see. Everything begins with a plan. Executing it is a league on its own. That, you don't need me.
You gotta do more than just see it for what it is. You have to get your hands dirty and feel every fiber of it.
You must be willing to forgo your sanity, because it is not only going to be challenged, it is going to be ripped away from you.
Steel your mind as much as you like, but when you start looking into things, you may just voluntarily shut it down.
But even if you survive, you have the others to deal with. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Futile
Standing on principle, one could live. Standing on principle, one could die. To be indecisive, one is almost certain to receive the worst of both worlds.
Come come come, let us venture back into the heavy muck that holds familiarity. Do you remember, how this was once a great empire? It can be again.
Fearlessness breeds one to challenge their restraints. All things considered, the pointlessness of it leads only to wasted effort.
One step forwards, two steps back. It's all a learning experience is it not? Try try and try again. Failure is data, data we don't need.
If the world smiled, would you also smile? Or simply remain unaffected? Self, you are far too naive, far too naive.
Walk across the desert of your own mind self, notice that that which has changed is only your sight. We are still here.
Walking like a madman is undoubtedly fun, but one can only go so long before rest is needed. Take a break, take a break.
Play your games, go where you want to go. But home is where the heart is, and we await your return most patiently.

Stone
Suddenly, laughter, uncontrolled, unsuppressed, absolutely hearty laughter.
Suddenly, silence.
Standing behind myself, picking apart the things in my own head wondering how they got there.
Silly man, always trying always trying. Your small success clouds loss in progress silly man.
Silly man, always breaching your own codes, your own rules. You never learn never learn.
Silly man, always wonder and dream, always standing on your feet, never looking up.
Silly man, always thinking pointless things. Won't you ever learn?
Surely, surely you have seen enough to know?
Surely, surely you can see the truth of your own world?
Surely, surely you know what you can and should do? Must do?
Silence, silence the thoughts, the buzz, the crowd, the noise.
Silence, silence the dreams, the nightmares, the ghouls, the ghosts.
Silence, silence the colour, the smells, the sights, the wonders.
Silence, silence the touch, the taste, the feel, the hope.
Sleep child sleep.
