Soliloquy No. 7
March 7, 2016
And i’m told to succumb to an external viewpoint’s analysis of my own psyche,
Statistics say that I’m in primal rediscovery-
And I’m, and i’m told that in this moment I should feel a sense of dread or existential bliss
Where is my emotion-handbook?
Where is my guided happiness?
Where is my predestined sadness?
Am I, am I to wander without the proper caliber
With beautiful statistics, logistics I’ve managed to plan out my emotional life
It seems I’m all set, it seems I'm all set

Just something I wrote outside of a cafe in Downtown Los Angeles, the beautiful old building, the cascading sun, the hipsters and homeless walking in harmony sort of brought this out. Pretty short, but also pretty representative of the emotional climate I've been in most days. Enjoy.
