The Ideal

You will never be in,
The place you want to be.
That place is in your mind, and your mind,
Is a place of fantasy,

But it can only build its worlds,
With the building blocks you feed to it.
So those experiences you'd rather not have,
You need to remit.

Instead, you must create for yourself,
A world with the right components,
Ever closer to your ideal place,
So your mind can build from them.

And then you'll be alright,
You'll never find your happy place,
But the building blocks that make it up,
Will forever be in front of your face.
