I Know Nothing: A Villanelle To Socrates

Giving in to my mind, I trust the nothing I know.
This decision has taken quite some time.
I've taken a path, I've chosen a road.

I learn everyday and seeds are sewn;
While I'm stripping off my rind.
Giving in to my mind, I trust the nothing I know.

I'm hot as fire in a day cold as snow,
But through it all, I feel fine.
I've taken a path, I've chosen a road.

Loose grips and sinking ships begin to show.
A wanderlust through the loss of time.
Giving in to my mind, I trust the nothing I know.

Vulnerability takes me to a new low.
Despite the depth, my light begins to shine.
I've taken a path, I've chosen a road.

Perhaps my shine will grow and grow.
Until then I walk the line.
Giving in to my mind, I trust the nothing I know.
I've taken a path, I've chosen a road.

Professional Dreamer

This is not  the  world. This is  my  world. I just said that. You are a privileged presence. You are arbitrary. Perspective is subjective. My  world is objective. Stop interrupting. I have no patience for the faithless. I cry for my dreams. I work for my dreams. I smile for my dreams. I live for my dreams. I'm a professional. No explanation necessary.
