it’s not about
how good you are at things
you can champion the world
without ever being true
and you can be a real mess
and grow every day still
because it’s about
how earnest you are
at bettering yourself
at learning from all the things
at seeing all the things
the way they are

Señor Palermo: We’re clouds, shifting our shape, drifting on the skies, obsessed with our reflection in lakes far below us.
The Gnostic Wanderer: We’re nobodies swimming in nothingness ignorant of the fact that we’re not existing in the first place.
