What I Learned, The Hard Way

 

Because someone knows you are

Approaching does not mean you’re

A worthy vessel.

 

Regarding emptiness as an

Antidote is merely

Going astray.

 

Charlatans of all kinds

Hold out

A lamp in daytime.

 

Rebellion brings

A new way of looking at things.

Still, the affliction continues.
