Still I know nothing

What’s the use

of this confusion–

stumbling,

tripping

on my own illusions,

somehow

coming

to my own conclusions.

It’s so stupid,

my innate need

to jump through hoops

and

seek approval.

Still I know nothing,

still I am nothing,

say I need someone to save me

but maybe

I’m bluffing–

Fuck it.

...

Force yourself. to be better. Self-help. regardless whether. you hit the mark. or hit the ground. get up. instead of. letting. life. keep you down. look around. see the beauty. it’s not profound. but it’s useful. truthful.ly. prospective’s just a matter of how you see.
