Cognitive Dissonance

Conflicting opinions,
Weakened beliefs.
Arrogant behavior,
Denying reality.

Who you are is who you'll 
become.
Let it happen.
Fight for your wisdom.
I know one thing that isn't true.
Reconsider my beliefs.
Consider a new point of view.
Let one go.
You'll be much happier.
What you'll know,
Will bring you peace of mind.

A belief system based on 
nothing.
More thoughts come to mind.
Do they compete?
Are you blind?
Are they based on reality?
I feel incomplete.
A new state of duality.

What I think.
What I know.
I can't blink.
I'm too slow.
My own arrogance.
My self pity.
Remaining ignorant.
I'm so witty.
You got me there.
Whatever shall I do?
I could care less.
I'm much different than you.
