Sander Shelnutt Poems

I think we may have forgotten the rules of playing hide & seek
...

Sitting in a grey classroom
Eyes locked on the clock
The teacher asks me:
Can you define art to me?
...

Hey bed,
Hey clock,
Hey ceiling,
...

Concrete jungle,
Grey streets and faces

People in suits,
...

The melanchonic, overwhelming feeling
At moments like these,
I feel like a failure.
Unloveable, to say atleast
...

I'm slowly losing grip
on reality,
on my own damn life
...

We are humans,
Who lost humanity

Hate has conquered over love,
...

My thoughts constantly dwell in the past,
Has the decision I made,
filled me with regrets?
...

I compare life with the behaviour of a rollercoaster,
It has its ups and downs,
But my rollercoaster seems to be that sort of rollercoaster,
that stays underground...
...

Trees
Chainsawed down,
to slip its way into our pockets
eventually, to slowly devour our souls
...
