Freedom Of Rational Thinking (Revised) Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Worked without fatigue and anxiety, without
fear of the darkness lurking in my head, and
then you said, 'Do not take these pills regularly'
I thought ‘but they enable my being a regular
human being instead of an imitation golem
equivalent to a paranoid android'

I prefer to be on an even keel to being at the
mercy of the wind, tossed about in the sea of
my own fears, and after tasting the freedom
of rational thinking less mental blocks to
interfere I reject the Dark Middle Ages holding
sway in my mind and imagination

To just sit and breathe without anxiety is such
a treat - I cannot give that up willingly!
