Introspection is pain Which severs the mind From its body. An existential misery Evoking visceral self-hatred. A fear of oneself And a heavy cloud Of doubt and misinformation. Indecisive.                                Distant. Relying on the mercy Of a damaged conscience. It is being lost Without a map And relying on the universe itself To guide you home. No remedy Save for clearing One's own mind. No salvation Save for discovering Truth. Introspection is a realization That you're not even in control of your own thoughts.

Introspection
Introspection is pain Which severs the mind From its body. An existential misery Evoking visceral self-hatred. A fear of oneself And a heavy cloud Of doubt and misinformation. Indecisive.                                Distant. Relying on the mercy Of a damaged conscience. It is being lost Without a map And relying on the universe itself To guide you home. No remedy Save for clearing One's own mind. No salvation Save for discovering Truth. Introspection is a realization That you're not even in control of your own thoughts.
