You are blue, you are deadly
you are lovely,
you are white, you are red,
honored like a wasted homie,
it is all in my head,
I've lost,
the control of illusion,
I no longer believe it anymore.
Now I know that reality is what I would make it out to be,
for whatever reason escapes me.
Dangerous but authentically reasoning dictates my flow,
my intellectualizations and realizations...
are tiny whatever their scope..
a tautological pie you can only eat around the edges of.
Even that is dictated by things outside of my terribly limited perception.
I can only receive whatever filters into me,
I am a gestalt,
of my own imagination,
walking around humbly...
because I've caught slivers,
of the humiliating whet stone,
flying off of reality.
I am everything, I am nothing,
and I will never ever understand it all.
Not my job after all, I guess.
It's better to live than intellectualize so completely your life,
you cannot contain it,
so just try to be happy.
It's complicated.
It's like taking pictures on a family outing...
you get insight and glimpses,
but you don't get to participate.

Wow.
There are many lines in this poem that simply framed my mind. And those incredible exit lines:
It's like taking pictures on a family outing...
you get insight and glimpses,
but you don't get to participate.
I shuddered in recognition.

There's a saying that the unanalyzed life isn't worth living, but I think you can take it too far, so that life is nothing but analysis.
