“Delusional” Thinking
I'm keeping all my secrets a secret. I shall, I will, plant an entire lawn of clover for my favorite wild animals. Nobody knows that you can be reclusively famous. The power of a hidden name while you're thought of as, "a nobody". It's "delusional" thinking of people who label you "stupid" and "uneducated"--remember that.

Go Easy On
Beside Myself
I had to leave town. I had to get gone. I had to disembrace. I had to be forgotten. I had to remain small beside myself. I had to be unmemorable. I had to desert to survive. I had to grieve then go on. I had to disembark. I had to finish it. I had to regain, start over; and again, begin. I had to be ok with being misunderstood, hated; not care … [Read more...]
