Why Does Everything Have To Prove Itself To You?

Why does everything have to prove itself to you?
Your open mind is harsh and cold.




KNOW THE JOY
of excitement for its own sake
Over something that isn't alcohol


LIKE SOMETHING
without knowing it
And accept your wrong
when you're wrong


LET THINGS
be as good as they seem
The naive are happy,
don't you know


TRUST SOMETHING
you don't understand
Even though I know
it's my mistake

Author notes

Partly inspired by the Desiderata, and subconsciously by Mark Titchner ( www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/arts/platform-for-art/artists/titchner.asp , www.vilmagold.com/pages/previouspages/mark3.htm ).

I promise, this poem rewards contemplation.
