Philosophy 102 or Poetry 101 (Whichever You Choose)

This sound of silence still echos through my mind. The past has locked itself into the primitive structure of my soul. These thoughts cast spells on me that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. But my vision is clear, the fog has lifted and I see an undisturbed landscape in the distance. But this I cannot touch. For it is only allowed to be viewed from afar. Like a beautiful soul I long for, only a glance is suitable. I could send you to the dictionary 20 times over and twist these words into an intangible puzzle, but I’d rather not make your lesson uncomfortable. Rather I will enlighten you with simplicity. There is no reason for me to feed my ego, for I have starved it long ago. It fed for a while on self until I was fully consumed. But now the only thing left is self. A self that is true. A self that is pure. Not pure in the sense of morality, but pure in the sense of reality.
