"Notes on Personal Growth"

Bless me O fury
Most fleeting of emotions

Bend to my hand
Gird me against mine enemies

Let me become
Destroyer of selves

Lay waste to all
Who no longer serve me

Let me become
each and every consequence 

Permit me O fury
to know you

To serve you
In service of myself

To remember you
and call you gladly

Hope against hope 
against happiness
