“To hell with the world. Being in denial used to be my favourite expression until it became my life story. I have no wish to explain this any further to you. It's as simple and as true as anything I have written regarding myself.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche, from Selected Letters

“I tend to avoid bad literature and imbeciles who put up with it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche, from Selected Letters
Kindness and patience are the things
I wish to be most abundantly fluent in.
However, you make this very difficult.
To begin,
I will not forget your spitefulness.
I can forgive, but I will not forget.
I wouldn’t expect either from you.
Hopefully we both grow in the interim,
although I will not count on you
ever smiling my way again.
We all seem to think that we, ourselves, are the only ones
who suffer.
I was always more likely to be left alone with a pen.
My love is different from yours.
Mine didn’t meet your expectations,
but unlike yours, mine will probably never end.
