Blackout In Nirvana

This piece is a peak into the choatic mind of me.. It may not make alot of sense, but don't try to understand it. Just take it in..

I woke up with

the feeling I had

it all figured out.

Enlightenment at best.

Isn't that what this

journey's all about?

Feeling superior.

I finally have all the answers.

The antidote to what

makes me inferior.

Mistaking my conceit

for knowledge.

Lying to my own brain.

Playing a dangerous game.

Just as suddenly

as it came,

it went again.

Life slapping me in the face.

Then I realized,

It was just a

blackout in Nirvana...

Conceited superiority and false enlightenment destroy our perception of our own Nirvana. Sometimes when we think we have it figured out we haven't even scratched the surface. I enjoyed this journey!

I'll admit, I'm not sure what this is about but there's something about it that I like. Nice poem. :)

Well it didn't make much sense to me wither. Lol. But my interpretation, is like the thought that you finally have it all figured out, eg Nirvana (complete enlightenment). But then reality slaps you in the face, and you realize you don't have all the answers. Like you blacked out for a minute in Nirvana but then woke up..

I hope that helps a little bit, maybe? LOL. Thanks for reading and reviewing..

Awesome sauce! lol. I was hoping that would help. I'm glad it makes more sense now!

[GreenEyedPoet]

Haha me too. Thanks for helping me make sense of it, sometimes I'm really bad at interpreting another people's pieces lol.

No problem. Sometimes I have to slow down and reread someones work and then the second time around I get it.. It happens. I think our brains are so used to the fast pace of the world now, that we tend to want to process everything super fast..

[GreenEyedPoet]

Definitely agree on that.
