14,345. I AM NOT HAYLEY MILLS

I AM NOT HAYLEY MILLS
I am not Hayley Mills, though
you do not know that. I came
from nothing, and to nothing
I'll go. The return of the native?
Not me. Claiming my heritage
is a very weak thing.
-
At the pinnacle, at the top of
form, I see nothing but trees;
the bent branches and broken
limbs of all that has befallen
me. I am not blameless, and
I likewise blame no others.
-
Taking responsibility for things
gone wrong is a heavy dose of
knowledge to absorb. 'Ego Te
Absolvo' - as they used to say
in church.
