Something I wrote down to quiet my mind-chatter.
They say if you have trouble sleeping that you should put your
thoughts down on paper to clear your mind.

Arrogant; ignorant as we've become
-a map to myself

That song written about everything you never said out loud.
Too ignorant to see how we are all the same, only trying to create differences.
Noticing similarities normally overlooked and preach it out to them like they are the only one.
Brave enough to admit we are most alike in evil, and more different in good nature.
Living in our minds as what we are, only living life as what we've learned.
Going through pointless motions and gestures, playing a role developed by our past.
This ongoing internal quest to understand who you are relative to the life we all live
cannot be accomplished before first unlearning, and expanding your conditioned perspective.
Move just about every direction except forward to reach the point of self discovery,
and you will be miles ahead of the rest.
