Where do we go from here?

this is dangerous
life is low
honour at stake
sink
deeper
deeper
deeper
the myth that this is “the bottom”
in reality, there are many
but what gives?
where do we go from here?
the last time
and the last time
and the last time
we asked the same question
where do we go from here?
i’ve seen my whole life played out before me
multiple times
but no change
why isn’t this deep enough?
why isn’t this stealth?
why?
why?
what makes somebody change?
what is belief?
what is success?
what is understanding?
abort
create a fork
create another route
now!
in a loop
but there has to be an exit condition
you’re just okay-average
if you’re honest
it’s not acceptable
i’m cool with making mistakes
but not the kind that cut you to pieces
cut the theories
cut the thoughts
it took 13 years for the Muslims of Makkah to master basic steps
not elaborate plans
learn a step
then move to the next
now
