Curiosity Borders on Interrogation

Do you have new thoughts?

Or do you cut yourself with the same emotions?

Is your joy bespoke?

Or do you suffer from nostalgia?

Is this experience a new memory?

Or is it part of a story written before me?

Are your bad habits new?

Or are they part of your DNA?

When you cry, is it transactional?

Or does it bleed from deep within?

Do you sing in the shower?

Or do you fear your voice?

What are you afraid of?

Or is it this?

Tainted, Tarnished, Tested, True

Tainted, by life experiences

Experiences are lessons learned

Learning never stops

Stopping isn’t an option

Options are endless

Endless change is evolution

Evolution constantly creates confusion

Confusion about who I am?

Am I tarnished?

Tarnished by my perspective

Perspective is chosen

Choice is mine

My choice is my test

Tested by my need to victimize

Victimizing gives credibility to memory

Memory proves true

Truth is in the eye of the beholder

Behold, the dilemma

Did something bad happen?

Or did I make it bad?
