One wonders why one is up. One wonders why things never work right. One wonders what defines popularity. One wonders what defines ignorance. One wonders why that which is trivial to one person is of live-changing importance to another. One wonders whether individuals are as unique as one might wish to believe. One wonders about the nature of death, and of ghosts. One wonders about personal preferences. One wonders a great deal, but one seldom finds answers. One wonders why one in not asleep, and one hopes she may correct this situation.

I Cannot Hide What I Am

I must be sad when I have cause and smile
at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait
for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and
tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and
claw no man in his humour...
I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in
his grace, and it better fits my blood to be
disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob
love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to
be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied
but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with
a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I
have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my
mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do
my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and
seek not to alter me.
