Second-hand symbols

External voice: There's a lot of flappy-dapping with your mouth about some sort of self-reflective narrative that only makes me think of an ineffectual, confused and pitiful person. Don't use pity as a tool to create sympathy, it does you greater damage in the long run. Speak plainly and clearly, not softly and uncertainly. These symbols you use are strange and overly complex, what are they for? Why do you need them? What reason do they serve? You could have done yourself greater service by simply facing the facts, and looking the challenges and pitiful failures in the eye and referring to them as what they really are, not creating second-hand symbols in order to attempt some weak therapy.

Second-hand Dreams

I can't even believe that I have to spend time here engaging with this tripe that you so effortlessly spew, so honestly believe in and imbue with a quasi-cultish intensity that defies sensibility. And that's not even the worst, the worst is you won't even argue about it and take a stand, you'll cave in and think that what I'm saying is right, and you're wrong, and you'll  never get it right! But all I want you to do is stand up and say, "Hey, this is what I'm doing because I want to." Not, "Oh, maybe I'm wrong about this and that... or I could do it your way if you think it's better. Or, do you think I'm going about it correctly?" etc etc, blah blah blah.
Don't give me that namby-pamby uncertainty, get a spine! Believe in what you're about, don't waste your time searching for what's glaringly obvious. But just so that I'm glaringly obvious, and you don't miss it because you're an unperceptive naive half-wit, let me tell you.

It's what YOU like! The answer is only what you like and want to make. And you can discover it immediately, for it's always there, because it's you, it's looking in the mirror back out at you saying "here is the question and the answer. Me" Ignoring the befuddled imbeciles who pepper you with their half-baked concepts and dimwitted responses and criticisms is not ignorance, it's strength. Lead the donkeys, go your way, only see your mountain that you wish to climb. Have the confidence to say "yes" to yourself.
