I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections.

And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly,

     That I am ill

I am ill because of wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional

     Can help

And patience, and a certain difficult repentance,

Long, difficult repentance, realization of life’s mistake, and the

     Freeing oneself

From the endless repetition of the mistake
