Villainous Behavior

Retract at once
This damning 
Interpolation
Being treated 
Like any other 
Disrupting behavior 

Embrace authenticity 
Self compassion 
Prevents progress 
Put an end to your
Observable impulsive 
Apathetic material 

Discombobulated magnificence 
Wallow in the muck with them
Untouching perfection 
Hauntingly beautiful 
Undubbed contextual 
Insufferably overbearing

Incontextual differences.
Environmental disasters 
Supercilious villains
That find meddling best
As focus turns elsewhere 
Hiding in plain sight

Inconspicuous idiot 
It's never their artistic. 
Endeavor 
Art is simple 
Untouched raw
As good is the enemy of perfect. 
And the perfect enemy of good 






The discombobulated magnificence of this buried song creation that remains Elliott Smith’s “Abused”

another deep and insightful poem. I liked Smith's quote and the word discombobulated. One of my favorite words
