Foolishly, I Search

When you look long into the abyss,
the abyss also looks long into you.

—Nietzsche

And the world’s got me dizzy again
You'd think after 22 years I’d be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I’m always pacing around or walking away.
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
And I’m balancing history books up on my head
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
"If you love something, give it away"

—Conor Oberst

Like a child, startled after being woken from a deep sleep, I search the darkness for something familiar and safe— something sacred; longing for luminosity and reality but all I find are temporal thoughts and emotions.

For I believe that there is something more to life, something greater than what my lustful eyes can currently perceive, my conceited heart can comprehend, or my faltering feet have achieved; and foolishly my eyes search for it, my proud heart thinks it will find it, but constantly, my careless feet slip away, exposing the dangers of this harsh journey. But still I will travel this land, learning all that it will teach me, and loving the people I meet; for I am certain that this is the only way to find what it is that I am looking for, and maybe, hopefully, this will be the first thing that in a short life full of narcissistic events that I do for something other than a materialistic, temporal, and selfish incentive.
