My Response To Rumi

What transpired in your vigor?
"Rumi!" Your comos flee against well-being
Your psychological state is tottering
“You’ve allowed heartache to manifest!” 
Let you be! You're not well, ranting to thyself.


Wandering the streets with no footgear,
No shirt, no soul, fading spirit
This not a path to restoring agony
Let me see you through to the Doctor---
They’ll cure your mental anguish.


You can’t gasp communication properly
Obviously-not an aid to sorrow---
Psychiatrist gave you prozac so don’t backtrack
You’re grasping reality recurrently-think that
You let yourself dip to heal your universe.

"If you desire healing,
let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill."
