Oh how I envy hermits

They tell us we have to decide 
we have to know what we want
what we want our lives to look like. 

But what's wrong with not knowing?
Why can't we be unsure of anything as little as what we want to do tomorrow
 
Every time I think I know, I get that surety, and I feel the ground beneath me becoming stable again 

it breaks

leaving me dangling. 

And I find myself clawing at the cliff I dangle off of, trying to get a grasp of something. Anything. 

While others laugh, judge, even tease us in our struggle. 
Because they know what they want,
they have the perfect plan. 



Oh how I envy hermits.
