O Brian,
Why are you in despair?
The sun still shines behind the clouds
And you still inhale air.
O Brian,
Your life is in strife;
Despair your partner,
Exhaustion your wife.
O Brian,
What can you do?
Your efforts are empty,
The old still vanquishes the new.
O Brian, Brian,
Where’s your support?
Do you have friends?
Someone to court?
O Brian,
Your thoughts are confused;
One idea opposes another,
You are being used.
O Brian, Brian,
Take a breath;
Before you wear out
And collapse in death.
O Brian, Brian,
If anything is a guide,
Let it be unbounding
Until on true freedom you glide!

At least this is a third-person self portrayal lol.
