Contrapuntal

There has to be a conviction
that isn't made of selfish whims.
I know it's somewhere,
but there's no way of getting out there.
To think outside the box,
you have to be outside yourself.
No one can manage that
unless they've stopped feeling.
There are no excuses
that will heal any unwanted pain.
I've wrapped my head around
every critical thought
and found no point to make.
There's simply nothing worth saying.
I have tender thoughts that yield to logic.
This is what makes works of fiction seem worthless.
