Your analysis gives me pause for reflection even when having been written IN PART by me. I say in part because of some ways, [you have so correctly allude to] it was written with some knowledge taken from my mind's interaction with the likes of others.
Most importantly, your words offers back to me some semblance of sanity.
At times, my mind, absolutely so, acts as if I am its servant and nothing else, when doing nothing to respect my wishes.
At other times it is so very easy to just give in by saying, "it was not me, it was my mind"
