I just finished reading Sophie’s World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy by Jostein Gaarder.
This book is sooooo insightful and so amazing it will blow your mind away.

The yellow line stands between me and betrayal
The yellow line wants me to conform
The yellow line wants me to cry, to scream
The yellow line makes me want to rebel
But I stand well back of the yellow line
I am 2 feet behind [...]

Lonely
Like a scarecrow in an empty dry field
There are no birds to scare away
No crop to protect….

No water
No crop
No birds
So why am I here?
Burn me to feel warm
But it’s hot
Does my existence have a meaning?
