Like a forgotten leaf blown away in the wind
my mind started to drift
nowhere, in all directiond, so fast, at a pause
not today i know how much i can lift
how high i can climb
without climbing to high or falling into pieces
my soul whisked already far by dreams
today as i write nothing, hardly a thesis
a tremble in my heart, i know i am scared
not when to discover, but how i already did
i'm not here with you , but with myself
to lie....so many have hid
in dark corners with artificial light
they breath what i don't
now blown away in the night

Uhhhh.....maybe I'm slow today but I don't understand. I see contradictions, and confusion-thats it....care to explain this?

Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.

I see the confusion and the path the mind has taken to reach the conclusion. I have travelled this path many times in my life. I think you have depicted confusion very well in this.
