This Phase Of Being That We Call Human

Having a world

Of certain

Outcomes

Ruins the joy

Of feeling surprise.

If our emotions

Were not as complex

As we have let them become,

We would not be the people

That

We are.

Our emotions make

Us human,

And our humanness 

Makes the world

Our oyster,

To break and unravel,

Any way we choose.

Our choice to live for outcomes

Is not a living at all.

Our choice to chase experiences

Brings us no closer to them

As a model of perfection.

Instead,

We must chase

Complexity

In the world

We wish was simple.

We must chase

Adventures

And 

Journeys

That we don’t know

The end destination

For.

We must find purpose

In our own ways,

Because the most purposeful

Of our days,

Brings us a step closer

To the most important

Moments of 

This

Phase

Of being

That

We call human.
