Hello. this is
not you, it's me.
though thank you for
your sympathy.
and if you're lucky
eventually
i'll kill myself
or disappear
(just as you like me to my dear)
but until then itake what's mine
and be as happy as I should
(and you could not imagine)
cause I've been told
or taught myself
to love my freedom,
the sea and me.
And I will never give up.
