To Polish: A Poetic Synopsis

To shine in the sun;
To make silver gleam again;
To wax a car;
To paint finger nails.

Polishing oneself 
Is to make anew,
To fold the old clothes 
And buy new ones;
To break bad habits
Or create coping scenarios
For chaotic moments. 

To polish oneself   
Is the goal of all
Humans with a 
Strive towards perfection,
An eagerness to merge ahead,
A yearning for control. 

To polish oneself,
One must let go of the
Old self 

As hard and improbable
As that is currently,
The possibilities it could open
Are endless.

Making oneself better than before
Is what everyone does
In many different ways.
There are many things one can do
To "become better" than before;

But really,
Was before that bad?
No.
Of course not.
It's just that there is
One thing that is inevitable:

Change.

Though no one wants
To believe that one has changed,
This is unstoppable.
It happens in nature constantly
And it so happens that
We are a part of nature.

Though being God does sound divine, 
That is quite impossible.

I don't even believe in God.
Not anymore.
I'm through with
Hoping and praying 
And trying to change 
my feelings,
My thoughts,
For it will naturally occur
Without force.

For now,
I step aside 
And put my thumb out 
To see my life from the outside.
I'll hitchhike my way 
Through each passing moment;
Contemplating and studying  
Each moment,
Soaking in each tear,
And evaluating each emotion.

This sadness is
Inevitable.

This loneliness is 
Natural. 

Everyone feels lonely;
Everyone wants security:
Everyone wants to polish themselves.

Everyone is the same. 

I hate this boring life. 
No wonder why I have 
Nothing to say anymore.
