Welcome to a dissection of the opprobrium leveled against the self. This stream contains a collection of poetic works devised as a therapeutic intervention for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The poems explore the vitriol of distorted narratives and the paralyzing hyper-vigilance that follows.
This is not a defense, but a documentation of the simulacrum created by others, and the internal struggle to remain tethered to reality despite the aspersions cast.
And this is how I sometimes assassinate my own character before anyone else can....

Contextual Refractory in Sequel to Headshots: Gracefully Condescended
Nov 21, 2025
If "Headshots" was the attack, this entry is the post-production. It analyzes how the "Lens of Obscurism" is used to crop reality. It documents the refusal to be the "subject" of someone else's distorted portfolio, finding "refulgence" (brilliance) in the messy, unedited self.
Cartography of Temperance in the Dystopia of Habit — The Key to Youtopia
Nov 20, 2025
Addiction is a linguistic trap as much as a chemical one. This entry explores the "oxymoron" of the addict's logic—where destruction feels like safety, and sobriety feels like anthema. It documents the cycle of "apostasy" (falling off the wagon) and the terrifying realization that sobriety requires the one thing the assassin fears most: self-actualization.
Contemptuous Camera Shooting
Nov 20, 2025
The camera is rarely an objective observer; it is a tool of exclusion. This entry examines the "framing" of a narrative—how specific angles and lighting are manipulated to create a "flagitious" caricature of the subject. It uses the mechanics of photography as a metaphor for the "smear campaign," exploring how a Prime Lens (a fixed, narrow perspective) cannot zoom out to see the full context of the human spirit.
A Self-Inflicted Recidivism: The Entrapment Chains to the Languorous Dungeon
Nov 20, 2025
Passivity is not merely the absence of action; it is an active imprisonment. This entry documents the "recidivism" of the anxious mind—the habitual return to the safety of doing nothing. It explores the "oubliette" (a dungeon with no exit) constructed by the self, where the "quit" takes the wheel and apathy actively hunts down human will.
Insouciant in Inertia with Effortless Efficacy
Nov 20, 2025
This inaugural entry addresses the internal mechanics of character assassination—specifically, the self-sabotage that mirrors external judgment. It explores the "freeze" response common in Generalized Anxiety Disorder, challenging the perception of this paralysis as mere laziness. It documents the struggle against the inertia of "what ifs" and the fight to reclaim agency from the false narratives we write about ourselves.
The Resonance Protocol: a Calculated Influence Deficit
Nov 20, 2025
In this entry, we conduct a forensic accounting of emotional insolvency. When the currency of connection is unilaterally devalued by one party, the other is left holding the debt of unrequited effort. This poem explores the "dissolution" of a bond not through heartbreak, but through the cold logic of a ledger that no longer balances. It is the documentation of burnout—where the spirit does not refuse to give, but simply lacks the capital to continue.
