Long story of
Coming from
Insecurely humble beginnings.
***
“Don’t write it like that;
I don’t think they’ll like it”
Blindly nodding to stray opinions.
***
Is it still me
If I quarantine
And compartmentalize my thoughts
To what someone else
Believes is the better me?
***
Good or bad, any me
Is the me I choose
Over a genetically modified
By-product meant to impress
Recipients of my illustrations.
