thaw ought

mirrors reflect
but i lose something of myself in the exchange of selves
it's what's inside that matters
so i didn't have a mirror for a long time
but i just got one last week
and i guess we'll see how this goes

must be consistent
but that is not how i operate in general
and i know that i should
but on my own it's sporadic
if i have no mooring
and no ties
i lose interest
i lose gas
why is my self-motivation missing these days?
i sang a song about taking my life for granted
not in so many words
but there's so much below the surface
and yet here i am again
letting my life fade into sameness
