if being the best that one can be
isn't enough for the self
then the next step is non-existent
limitless possibilities are inhibited
and a finite number is set
if being the best that one can be
realizing worthlessness IS
sentience over our own humanity
granting us control over nothing
and still witness life as an illusion
being the best that one can be
resets expectations
a thought can change our choices
leaving the self in doubt
giving a chance to existence
so that it may follow the cycle
only to progress on
to its own oblivion
