I wish so truly to be free
But my beautiful mind
Acts as enemy.
O present moment, just to be!
But now is drowning
In difficulty.
Find the uses of adversity
Wisdom of old says to me -
But like a haystack
Ignoring the needle,
Utility I cannot see -
So even as my smart ***
Keeps quoting Nietzsche...

(More strength may be
The last *******
thing I need)

*I must remain as quiet as can be,
Drifting, drifting - out to sea -
Out here, perhaps the Furies
Will calm their assault -
Finally.
