Ah Japhy You Taught Me

I'm Stuck Struggling In The Cold Water, And All I Can Do Is Grieve, Grieve, In The Hoar Necessitous Horror Of The Morning, Bitterly I Hate Myself, Bitterly It's Too Late Yet While I Feel Better I Still Feel Ephemeral And Unreal And Unable To Straighten My Thoughts Or Even Really Grieve, In Fact I Feel Too Stupid To Be Really Bitter, In Short I Don't Know What I'm Doing And I'm Being Told What To Do.

I Had Nothing To Offer Anybody Except My Own Confusion.

It's All Too Much And Not Enough At The Same Time.

Great Things Are Not Accomplished By Those Who Yield To Trends And Fads And Popular Opinion.
