Don’t Rationalize Your Irrationality
A Poem
May 16, 2023
So will I not defer to you:
Lest we both forget about morality
Ever changing ever true
Let us both not play our cards
Shant we enjoy a truce: devolution of powers
For it is unclear to what depths you infiltrate our soul, alas shards
of your “care” and predisposition pierce this heart of ours
You, so confident have always been
confident towards many more than I:
I, so devoid of color may once have seen
The northern lights, once have experienced that confident lie:
Never foreign never familiar,
The power to scrutinize but not to console?
Neither a being nor a figure
Never friend never foe
If you pursue, you might prevail
Inventory gained: heart, soul, and mind
If I pursue, I become frail
On the dawn of young adulthood was a contract signed
Who shall find the strength to separate us now?
Let us be the friends we never were
You, the proprietor of my heart, soul, and mind
I, now just a tenant there
