To ponder oneself is old news you should move on from

Honesty isn't linear I'm not being honest with myself That's how it feels to change my mind Certainties are now false calls I could write the rest Quote Aristotle, I almost did But I'm lost in doubt As I start awake when I should sleep Empty, empty, deep, deep Thoughts transpire, let them steep Let it rest, do not keep I'm so scared That's the moment, not the end

DD, your poem captivates with its raw introspection. I love how it delves into the complexities of self-reflection and the fear accompanying change. I also like how the rhythm of your words guides us through a journey of doubt and vulnerability, leaving a lasting impression. DD, your profound exploration of the human experience. - Blessings, Daniel

All we have at any given time is the moment Dilly, of course it doesn’t mean it’s the end, but can be overwhelming if thought about too deeply, Love the rhyme pattern emerging at the end of this one it’s almost like an incantation, hopefully you’re asleep by now and read this in the morning lol! Cheers David

It is morning, although it wasn't a couple of times but is now. I'd convinced myself I was absent of all poetry so just needed to write something, so thank you for finding value in it. Appreciated :)
