(ir)(rational)

written by: Alyssa Brocker

@Atelgy

for me there’s always been a

fine line

be tween
Rational
&
Irrational

thoughts

most of the time
I can recognize the
difference

most of the time

rational & irrational

stay in their
place

(but)

my anxiety likes those thoughts
together

rationalirrationalrationalirrational

they run together
confusing me
until my head is
pounding
&
I don’t know whether to
scream,
cry,
or lie down on my
bathroom floor
&
never get up again
&
FUCK

I just want all this thinking to

stop.

Maciej Pająk

Maciej Pająk (Matthew) was born in 1978 in Poland. Poet, athlete, globetrotter. A maritime navigator by education. A graduate of Maritime University. Laureate of poetry competitions. He writes in Polish and English. He made his debut in 2018 with a volume entitled "A night so blue" and then he published in 2019 a volume entitled "Blue Hourglass". His works appear in anthologies and magazines. Music has also been created for many poems. Maciej describes his remarkable observations with exceptional sensitivity, sometimes even feminine delicacy from a male point of view. This has a remarkable effect of complexity and ambiguity in how the reader might perceive his poems. Looking into the past, contemplating the future, delight, duty, contemplation of beauty are the trademarks of his poetry.
