Own What You Own

Own What You Own 

Learn to recognize your own history.  
Like the grass before a scythe 
Murder is after all 
A sort of suicide. 
The sacrifice of someone else's self.

Like the granting of a favour
For the sake of your own insecurity. 
Or out of  jealousy for what we covet
From those in whom we can no longer recognize, 
The better part of our selves.




“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
