look at all the people around you and wonder what they're thinking
just looking for some acknowledgement
see what i’ve done, see what’s going on inside my brain
every time i've gone away, i always hope i'm leaving empty space
that at least indicates something was once in its place
but it seems without fail, i’ve never been anywhere
no letters from home and when you return, you're not missed
if someone says you're great and then doesn’t speak to you, it doesn’t feel great at all
i guess my dependency on people's what makes me feel so weak
because they disappoint me all the time
it’s not a dependency, it’s a desire, lets make that clear
i’m leaning on no one, trying to hold myself up straight
but it hurts and i want to, i love the idea of it
why doesn't anyone seem to remember anything but me?
nothing seems to mean much to anyone
so people just forget what happens all the time

it’s been really hard to care for myself this last year
when good things happen to this body, this entity, this character, this person with a name
shouldn't i feel happy?
at some point, i stopped being proud of my person
losing regard for my me
inspiration is a hoax
now is all there ever is
the only thing that really matters is choice
everything else is irrelevant
you choose to or you choose to not
you'll never be more ready
you don't need to feel it to do it
if you want to do it at some point
it's gonna have to happen right this second or it never will
and if you don't want to do it right now
you probably never will
some things never change
thoughts might come and go, but the vessel is present throughout
you'll always exist for as long as you do
even beyond that, the whole universe is a constant

give it a few weeks and i'll know you're home better than you
and no matter where i go, it always feels the same
because i’m still there and no one else seems to be

keep thinking the next leg will change me
that if i just finish whatever i’m unable to at the time, i’ll feel free
it’s like the further you go down the path of stoicism
you're less fazed by the negative things you want to dismiss
but you're also numb to what is good and the prospect of progress
i have been an endurer but not an enjoyer
you can relinquish control and constructs of self
but at that point, i don’t see any motivation to exist
it always comes down to the same dilemma
do i want to function or do i want to know what is true?
be like water
if you're looking to not be anything at all
be like water
so you'll never cherish anything, never hold on or stay stubbornly placed
beneath all of this, i don’t want to let go, i still have hope
despite what seems to be true, i don’t want to let go, i still have hope
18 years is too soon to let go
you'll have forever when you decide to let go

it works both ways
