Supposing I am to say simply

i am lost in a sea of fear.  could you calm the storm?  would you try, or would you stare from your island and scream, "save yourself, useless swine!"  suppose i were a mime, and in my world i am really trapped.  would you stare and laugh, saying, "just break the glass of your imagination, you fool!"  suppose i were to cry.  would you simply say, "stop being ugly, you weakened snail!"  suppose i were to say that i am tired of being strong.  suppose i simply want someone to care about me for who i truly am:  a lost traveler unlike yourself -- softened by time's translucent mock.  open your eyes.  see me.  don't be afraid.  it's the real me.  i am afraid, and i am slowly dying.
