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.

Reblogged this on mind JO business and commented:
Support “REBLOG” Sunday Ep09: I can’t think of one blogger who can’t relate to this piece below by Original-Dante. The number of times I have stopped and edited my initial thoughts when writing is insane. When you get to the place where you write without thinking of your audience must be surreal. #NewGoals
Thank you for the re-blog Jo! 😀

Responding with the words of Juan Ramón Jiméne “If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.”
Lovely Dajena 🙂 thank you for sharing!
🙂 You are welcome! (so, is your name Dante? Just so I can address you properly)
My friends call me Michael, Dante is a nickname from my high school days…you can call me either 🙂
