CVPISNE ME MANERE PAVLISPER?
Because I can stay as long as you'd like...
TANDEM DIDICI MODERARE ME,
I've finally got control of my psyche.
NVMQVMNE CAESAR HOC MODO SENSIT?
Did Cicero, did Nero, Augustus?
NVM QVIS TAM LONGEQVAM EGO FUIT?
Into their soul, their heart, their ANIMVS?
NIHIL SVM NISI PVER PERDITVS,
Much greater men have walked the Earth than I.
NVM PRIMVS MEI GENERIS SVM? CVR?
I possess this myriad mind, but why?
NM TOTA GENS INFRA ME IACET? CVR?
I am but a boy, left to fight alone
CONTRA MONSTRA QVAE IN NOCTE LATENT,
Monsters spawned from my mind, horrors unknown
AD QVOSLIBET HOMINES, ET MIHI.
I feel most would have given up or died,
SI MENTEM MEAM FRACTAM HABERENT;
But this sorry surrender, I've denied.
MEA VITA SATIS BONA ERAT,
I am **** lucky to be where I am,
HIC LIBER SVM. NEMO SVNT CONTRA ME.
Well, that is, no one but myself, I guess-
ET NON POTEST ESSE PEIOR HOSTIS.
All my life, I've been such a ******* mess,
ADHVC SVM, VERE. NONDVM PERFECTVS,
But despite all this, I can't help but smile.
AVDI! PAVLISPER TANTVM VIVIMUS!
So much to be done, in such a short while...
