As the Music Fades, the Storm Remains

As the Music Fades, the Storm Remains

The storm rages, relentless.
Not a crash of thunder, but a quiet, gnawing roar—
Thoughts splinter like waves against a shore,
each one demanding attention, each one refusing to fade.

I beg for silence, for a pause in the motion.
For the weight of my own mind to ease,
for the tides to settle, for breath to feel light again.
But peace is a mirage, slipping through my fingers
the moment I reach for it.

If the storm must stay, then what remains?
A longing, a whisper, a quiet ache—
A hope, however distant, that someday,
I will find comfort within the chaos.

Personal: Health update 01-12-2025

I’m feeling better, somewhat. I don’t want to speak too soon, though. The last two days, I’ve been drinking electrolytes. I just have to be careful and not drink too much, as that’s not good either. My sinuses are better, too.

I also started taking a low dose of lithium orotate. It’s not working yet, I suppose, but I haven’t been as moody. Sure, I started crying after I listened to a clip from The Electronic Intifada, but at least I wasn’t crying while playing the world’s smallest violin.

I’ve also been staying up longer than usual. Usually, I can only stay awake for a couple of hours. I’ve been up since Midnight, and I am getting tired now, though. It’s time to switch to my deadmau5 playlist. I either listen to that one or my Trance playlist when I go to sleep. Have a pleasant day!
