Inhalations  
Deep breaths…take it in
But there is no oxygen.

And then it became blurry,
And clear, bright as day.
I understood.
Lord knows I understood.

I have reached it.
That point.
I am self-actualized.

I am my greatest possible self.

Hold on. I have gotten ahead of myself,
Or rather, sense of make myself I not.

Ah. I’m just pulling your leg.
A ruse. A joke.
Not about the self-actualization thing mind you,
Just the whole:
“Myself of make sense not” thing…you know.

The title pulled me in and then I found a very fun write with just the right amount of edgy truth to make memorable. Love it.

Great title, great write, great subject. All-in-all, I loved it! So, how did the self-actualization become realised? I think I need to take some lessons from you, because I don't make sense to myself!
Awesome poem tho'
