Response to Paul
Die to the self?
Surely not,
I wish to will
I am an intellectual
Outward looking, me?
Too much of my life to see.
No compromise to be.
Pour myself out?
Comfort zones shout:
Willed too hard to get here!
Alas, I refuse to die.
My best life to deny.
Here,
I don’t fear.
Rather, hereafter, eternal death.
Now,
My will prevails in every breath.
