The Philosopher

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.

If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened.

But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. – Friedrich Nietzsche

The philosopher writes

the suicide note,

but does not pull the trigger.

Imagine you wake

and you realize

you have it all figured out.

You are a sage seer

unknown,

just the way you like it,

but you have something to share.

You know the answers.

But nobody listens.

That’s okay, too.

Like you told the doctor

before he stopped taking your calls.

What is wrong with you

that you need other people

to tell you you’re okay?
