Unknowable

If you could but in one moment trust something let go release yourself from controlling the unknowable Immediate present be to an indeterminable future the short explanation to a lifetimes conclusion of uncertainty But this moment is predicted preempted always supplanted as it clings to the illusion of safety Unknowable in your fear and you have no faith If you could but for one moment trust in something else admit just one thing to yourself you have no idea of fate you really can’t control a single thing and your best course of action is to give up trying You might touch upon something out there waiting for you patiently hoping for you to see there is no predictability And even though by the years to reach your destination all by the drag and scrabble and claw and every puzzle piece you chose to ignore suddenly fits in perfectly and in silence remind yourself of oh silly me But this is the moment you do not see Unknowable in fear and you have no faith And every belligerent emotion slams a possible guess as you eek yourself out over daily option you're in control but you’re out of control and you have no faith If you could but for one moment trust in something else admit to something beyond yourself you have no idea of fate you really can’t control a single thing and your best course of action is to give up trying You might find some happiness in relinquishing you might find some connection beyond your perceptiveness you might suddenly discover what it means to have a little bit of faith You might touch upon something out there as it patiently awaits But this moment was expected predictably preempted always life supplanted as it clings to the fantasy of everything is stable you're fully in control yes you're in control yes and you yourself remain unknowable
