Excerpt:

Be not discouraged; fatalism is: impotence.
O how greatly we humans can pretend!
I was caught in the strings of barbarianism.
As I flew I saw heights and new thanksgivings.

How to unpack? How to digest? How not to forget?
The curation was exponentially growing!
And as the master of the plan, I felt it was necessary
To dig deeper, to inquire, to question, and then some.

My walls were covered in notes only I understood-
Everything was a trap and wonderful bliss.
Distortion was just an illusion, or so I believed.
Returning to earth, lacked my decision.

Rureese! Talk with me. Come back; I need you.
I felt her pain but pursued life's praise.
I assumed she'd be happy if what I brought back
Were reasons to live more wholly.
