Brooding Over Regrets
When I have fears that I may cease to be...*
Obviously,
I am strongly opposed
to stating the obvious,
but there is forever
scant hope of forgiveness
and I expect none.
I only did what the crazy do.
Events cascaded as they are wont.
Never expect absolution.
Who could ever know all your sins?
How could there ever be time enough?
Much better to mirror
the Stoic habit of silence.
Bind your wounds and walk away.
Obviously,
the only path leading forward
into the vast unknown.
