These Foolish Thoughts
That I know
Anything
That I matter
Just because
That Life goes on
Despite all logic and appearance
That I will have these experiences
Again
That I can do it all
Again
That there is such a thing as
Again
That I am
Master of my own destiny
That there is free will
Because I say and do so
That I know
Myself
That I know
Others
That Life is beautiful and all-good
Despite the existence of good and evil
That good and evil must exist
Because that’s what I experience
That without the one
There can be no other
That I am
Awake
That I am not
Sleeping
That I am
Sensible
That I am not
Dreaming
That I am
On track to accomplish my life’s goal
That Life is
Capable of having a goal
That I know
Anything about it
That even if I did
I could say anything truthful about it
That truth will prevail simply because it is
True
