self-reflection
isn’t the issue.
i’ve been looking
deep into my soul
my whole, sad life.
turns out,
i’ve had
terrible eyesight
my whole, sad life.
what i saw
all those years
was only
vaguely true.
turns out,
i saw myself wrong;
thus the “sad” part
of my whole life.
turns out,
i’m not a shitty person.
turns out,
i just needed
a clearer view.
