When the world became absurd,
I never viewed it the same.
My body is just
My brain;
My brain is just
A thing
In a world of things.
Before I became conscious,
I only existed.
When everything is important,
Nothing is real.
Lies become cruel truths
At the site of
Consciousness.
What rises to matter is nothing--
In a sense:
If you accept the absurd world
For what it is,
You can make
Anything real.
Decide what makes
You happy,
What makes you
Love,
And embrace it.
We have to make our lives
Mean something,
Or they never will.
So, love everything but nothing,
And make your
Absurd world
Real.

Inspired by Albert Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus." One of my favorite quotes:
"Myths are made for the imagination to breathe life into them." -Camus
