I want to believe that everything happens for a reason;
a reason that isn't decided by fate,
or destiny.
I want to believe that when my greatest ideas
occur within my mind,
rewire the frayed and sabotaged circuits
that run across the wasteland entirely,
that the changes that induce within me
that ultimately decide who I am
are just something more than that;
something with infinite meaning
and universal truth.

I want to believe that this truth,
like the universe,
is self-knowing.
Not for the pleasure of having truth
but for the chance to even slightly comprehend
whether this connection with the eternal
is truly eternal.

I want to believe in a universal enlightenment;
the chance to know the universe
and the mind
are one in the same.
