Very Basic Me

all i can be sure 
       i’m alive so must exist
        had no choice in this 
     instinct urges me forward 
   intelligence brings my doubt

You are in the same boat with countless other individuals in this world. Your tanka says plenty.

Thank you Robert was just making a very basic statement, exposing myself to all I can be sure of, it’s a very stripped back view, unfortunately it’s a very common held universal truth, and the more I search for answers, the more doubts I seem to come across, this view is not meant to represent everyone, others see things differently and I’m fine with that, cheers David
