Convergence of disparate worlds of the mind
Unaligned—a confident dissonance
Hostile—the mundane trivialization of life
Arrogance forcing its philosophy as a means to control
Sanity through manipulation
A conformation of the soul that protects the idea of itself
Symptomatic forces perpetuating a crashing tide of tired thoughts
When they have it figured out and close up shop
Memories of the front put up to signal the person that once was
Others left with the heavy lifting of an imagined interior life
Selfishly vacated to allow for living habits
Abandoned—hollow justification for being sewn into the cultural cloth
Defensive—passively lashing out when confused
Controlled by forces thought conquered
Bleak tradition handed down ceremoniously
Unescapable obligations that bind the being
Bound to return to the familiar
Tired repetition repeating its death knell
Carrying on toward the beautiful light at the horizon
Warmth embraced by belief in fate
by those who never knew themselves
but thought they knew everything
