Discovered Notes
In the mind, a symphony,
The reality, a cacophony.
All those lessons met with antipathy,
Average passed as idiosyncrasy.
The tune you play, the melody,
Plagiarised from massed mentality,
Nothing but amplified facsimile,
Reduced to simple zealotry.
Feelings your only temptation,
The mirror your only flirtation,
Your view the only narration,
In your dance of sad stagnation.
Be silent and take an excursion,
Past the boundaries of aversion,
Ignoring the constant diversion,
And into a life of immersion.
Be part of the Hive discussion.

- Engage well with me and others and put in effort
And you may be rewarded.
We should let go of what society expects or thinks about and embrace our own unique tunes.
Or at least, try to work out if our views are valid to begin with.
The Socratic invitation remains in force, know yourself, and become, what it is your turn to do.
Most seem to be waiting for others to direct the course.
That's right, and that way they lose the power to choose.
I feel this asks us not to limit ourselves to what the society thinks or agree with
The society may be wrong and this is why man needs all freedom to get back his heart to the right frame of mind…
The masses are rarely right. Average and normal doesn't mean correct and best.
A nice poem that shows the daily struggles of the average human and offers advice on how to break free, by "...taking an excursion and ignoring the constant diversion." Some may break free and bring meaning into their lives, but sadly the majority never will.
A thought-provoking work. The contrast between the "symphony" of the mind and the "noisiness" of reality is a feeling that resonates with many. I found the idea of "The Dance of Sad Stagnation" a striking image, embodying immersion in the perspective of the self. It is a wonderful motivation to reflect beyond ourselves and find a more authentic way of life.
Wow, beautiful poetry. The melodic search within your inner world destroys the chaos of the outer world.
You have presented it beautifully. I really like the simplicity and sincerity in your writing. While reading it, I felt like I found some of my own feelings. Best wishes to you.
A poem to hint at a remembrance that the journey to wholeness and oneself is accompanied by distractions from the outside self. It has a warning tone which makes it didactic. An excellent exposition so to speak. A perfect one from there.
so, u are saying I talk too much?? :P
