To discover that what you thought existed,
Doesn't
That what you struggled to achieved,
Isn't
To find another way of dealing with reality
After so long avoiding responsibility
For truth is often just out of reach,
And therefore the individual must teach
Himself to act
In concert with the fact
That when you're UP
Your optimism distorts the view;
And when you're DOWN
Your pessimism can undo
All that you've achieved.
And so, a middle ground must be found
Where peace of mind holds priority
Over all your schemes and dreams,
And complexes of inferiority.
