What even is philosophy about?
a bloody headache crosses my head,
I try to read the paper.
The words don't work
why don't the words work?
Why can't I read?
Aristoteles, Socrates, Plato,
they betray me and I can't ask for help.
The paper is due tomorrow.
I have to analize...
why analize?
Why even try? I'm a failure.
I'm trying my best,
then why can't i
understand even simple words?
the more i try the more difficult it gets.
It would be so easy to just cry.
To not even try,
as people often do
when it gets too difficult.
And I keep trying over and over.
And I keep analizing.
A thought crosses my mind.
Was this ever about the text?
If I were a philosphist...
would i need to be analized?
doesn't that defeat the purpose?
And what if the purpose...
of this reading excercise...
was never to analize the text?
What if the point was to see through it?
the text is about the beauty of thinking,
thinking isnt beautiful.
Thinking is fucking torture.
Thinking is killing my soul.
I'd rather not think to begin with.
Or to not overthink it next time.
Thinking is a jail cell
that has made me miss out on so much.
I hate philosophy.
I hate writing.
I hate poetry.
This isn't even poetry.
It's just pretty rambling about
my philosophy paper due tomorrow.
I should just go to sleep already.
Let go of it.
Take a break, and maybe tomorrow
everything will turn out to my favour.

(just to clarify, i'm fluent in both spanish and english, though i may mess up various words in english cuz i usually don't double check a word before writing it. This thing is about me feeling like i can't read in spanish and just find it unnecesarily clashy and difficult to read for me.I don't like reading in spanish, it confuses my brain and it's just too much to try and understand what it says. when i'm reading in spanish i usually can't remember any sentence seconds after having read just one or 2, my reading comprehension is terrible and that feeds my impostor syndrome because i feel like i'm not as smart as my grades say.)
