I am an Island

You do no speak, you babble on and on. Your words are dull, lifeless, and worth nothing. Everything that comes out your maw is a copy of words you heard from someone else, but you think it's original. So please, don't tell me what time of day it is, don't advise me on the future, don't tell me good morning, just go away and leave me alone. 

You say I need others. For what? I do not care to engage in vapid conversations with fools. I do not need life advice from a "mentor" or a "sponsor"; all I need to know I can read in a book or watch in a film, and I know how to sift through the garbage for pearls of wisdom. Also, you say I need others to make sure I stay on the path, people who will hold me accountable and "call me out on my bullshit", but I have developed a very strong sense of self-honesty and integrity that takes care of that well.  I do not lie to myself, nor to others, you see. I always tell the truth, because I know that whatever the consequences of doing so, they are the best thing that could happen. You, however, mouth platitudes and bleat bromides.
