my insufficiencies matched against your
unattainable accomplishment.
you had me beat before we got here.
every flaw visible is magnified by
your harsh words.
but i take it,
them pounding the back of my mind.
inferior.
dumb.
naive.
we don't really know eachother-
[though i've known you for years]
or at least,
you don't know me.
who i've talked to,
what i've felt.
i suppose what you do to me is what i do with everyone.
inanimate, they appear-
without feelings,
a soul.
i cannot comprehend the heart and mind that lies within the vessel
i see in front of me.
those hallowed eyes...
what have you bore witness to?
what makes you different from the rest of us?
i wish i knew.
you see, my soul, confined to this body,
can only know so much of you.
as greatly that i wish for transparency,
it can never come.
the mind stops where the next one begins.
synergy was, after all, a thought brought about by human thinking.
even in union of the flesh two cannot be whole.
the two may lay side by side at night assuming what the other is thinking,
but they can never fully reach the corners of that person's mind.
no matter how they try at honesty,
it's almost a wasted effort-
one has to be honest with themselves before honest with another.
and how often does that happen?
i haven't found such a soul just yet.
