Memoirs: Chapter 4, Acceptance

Heartbreak may pull me down

Haunted by all I've found

Live and let live

Don't forget, just forgive

 

Drugs and depression may seek me

Blatant confession has saved me

Bite, spit, kick, and fight

Rage against the dying of the light

 

Kindred spirits may uplift me

Pithy quotes may stick with me

Still I know my role, sacrifice the one to satisfy the whole

If ignorance is bliss, intelligence is meaningless
