'Epiphany'

I've had an epiphany, I've had an epiphany

Oh, the number of times I've said that is funny

My life is just as unclear as the day I was born

Only after so many years I am a lot more worn


They say clarity and success will come to you soon

They say you only need hard work to reach the moon

But no matter how much I work I always end up worse

What are you not telling me about this damned curse


You'll only be successful if you attend a specific college

Where is the value then, in it's name or my own knowledge?

I am so sick of this confusing mess of a game

With a thousand steps only to end up with no name


To hell with this system and lets rule the world

Nobody can stop us from keeping our flag unfurled

Lets forget this place and explore a different universe

One that's a little nicer and a little less adverse

My life is like an ocean, in the sense that the waves are constant. An exhilarating high, followed by a miserable low, followed once more by another high. And the transition period when going from a trough to a crest has me going through a slew of positive emotions, and discoveries, or 'epiphanies' about myself, or the world and people around me. It's an amazing feeling, like you've discovered the secret of life. Whenever I have one of these epiphanies, I text my best friend "I've had an epiphany" and tell her all about it and how it's changed everything. But I've had many of these "Epiphanies" and they never really change anything. It gets pretty frustrating.
