Het strand

Langs de zee loop ik met de beweging van de golven mee

Langzaam komt het water naar me toe

Om mijn voeten te kriebelen

Waarna het weer weg glijdt, net als jij

Hier aan het strand vermijd ik de werkelijkheid

Hier aan het strand ben ik verlost van mijn ontevredenheid

De deur gaat dicht en niemand komt meer binnen

Geen teleurstelling, pijn, geen beminnen

Boos ben ik op de wereld omdat zij is zoals zij is

Boos ben ik op de mensen omdat zij zijn zoals zij zijn

Boos ben ik op alles wat beter had kunnen zijn

Dus sta ik aan de zijlijn

Te kijken hoe men een potje voetbal speelt

Met als doel de bal in het doel te schieten

Met elkaar tussen de lijnen rennen

Luid juichend doelloze doelen bereiken

Tot de tijd om is

Ik loop weg, maar kom niet verder dan de zijlijn

Lijnen zullen er namelijk altijd zijn

Daarom is het aan het strand zo fijn

Wandelen met een zee van tijd

Are you the best?

Be the best. No negativity, no weakness, no acquiescence to fear or disaster, no errors of ignorance, no evasion from reality – Jeff Buckley

You can't kill me, I'm already dead

   

My new short longboard.

Fucked up

People.

Are real.

So why

don’t they act real

People

why so anxious

I’m asking you what you really need

Not just some things. It’s something

you don’t even see

I can’t stand to see

people being hurt

because of people.

What happened to us? People..

The potential we have

to build and seed

and our energy

is wasted into bullshit activity.

Our spirit, our love

we put into work and material things.

Following a path of consumption  

leaving traces of destruction

moving away from reality.

Anxiety, self destruction and greed

such a waste of time

a waste of life.

Why don’t we all stop neglecting ourselves

and be real, do love.

Stop fooling yourself, stupid people

look at life the way it is.

There’s nothing.

So, why so anxious?

Street Halo

Yet another night alone

The air is moist and cold

I fill my lungs with smoke

standing in a city that never awoke

Cold, concrete buildings

confine me to walk narrow streets

Nothing here soothes me

Always alone.

I don’t look around me, so all I can see

is wet asphalt, moving under my feet

It feels like time has stopped me

walking ‘till infinity.

Movement of traffic and human beings

cannot move me.

Nothing but the gloom of the city

can fill me.

I’ve been here all my life

but why?

Wandering ‘round with bloodshot eyes

did I tell myself too many lies?

I’m looking for a way out of here

wandering around, hoping to find an exit sign

but there are no exit signs outside.

another silent cry..

Is it me or is it the city

that keeps me here?

What if there’s no way out of here

Do I have the courage to create an exit sign

outside?

Simplicity- drawings

Since I was a little kid I liked to draw. I wasn’t very good at it, but I practiced a lot and that made me better. About two years ago I found a guy from Singapore on DeviantART.com who did some nice graffiti work. Here is a link to his work: antz81. It inspired me to make some simplistic drawings. There’s no deeper thought behind it, just simplicity and music, except for the last drawing. I made that one when I was frustrated about life. I called it: FUTURE one big question mark. As you can see there’s an ugly guy standing in the centre who laughs in a mean way. That’s the source of my frustration with a lot of shit around it. Even though there’s nothing beautiful or special about the drawing itself I really like that one.

Do or don't

So here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light
I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what
So red turns into green turning into yellow
but I'm just frozen here in the same old spot
And all I have to do is to press the pedal
 
But I'm not.
