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?
