Be Like: Alexis Karpouzos

Be like the sun for grace and mercy, be like running water for generosity, be like death for rage and angry, be like the earth for modesty. Appear as you are, be as you appear.

I really relate to this poem, and the run-on form makes it particularly evocative. I appreciate that you show not only the horror of night-time anxiety, but also the desperation of trying to get better. This narrator isn't just wallowing, though he's drowning.

Simple, but effective, with beautiful contrasted images.
