Somehow I thought it would be different,
staring into the chasm and the void,
but the winds are still howling, smashing,
and bringing me no closer to the place
I wish to go.
Somehow I thought I would be stronger,
after tempests and struggles and wars,
but I'm just another animal lost in the void
with no way to get me closer to the place
I wish to go.
Somehow I thought you'd be here by now,
showing me the sun and the stars,
but I'm just another face in the crowd of
empty faces no closer to the place
I wish to go.
I don't know. Just some random thoughts. I'm having..... I don't know. I guess things will develop how there are meant to.

Dreamland
Sooooooo... last night I had the most terrifying dream ever. It was so scary. So of course now I'm thinking of trying to turn it into a story! yay! One that hopefully I will actually keep writing. *sigh* I need to make myself commit to my stories.

"You shall no longer take things at second or third hand,
nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,
You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,
You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self"
Walt Whitman
I have started my own kind of journey. My journey for truth, for wisdom, for knowledge. I have spent far too long of my life taking what other people said at face value. I have become a highly eudcated 22 year old who knows nothing. The more I study, the more I see of the world and things in it, the less I realize I know. I have decided to no longer let other people tell me what things say. I'm not going to let other educated people inform me what the Qu'ran says, I'm reading it for myself. I'm not going to let politicians tell what policies reflect Communism, I shall read the Communist Manifesto. The world is full of many peoples and many understandings of the way things are. Who am I to say that my way, the way that I have grown up with, is the right one?
This is not to say that I will not share, discuss, and take in the opinions of those that I know and respect. That would be foolish. However, I have decided that I must not simply let others tell me what things are, and how I am to believe.
