"Self*

By Grim_Sorrow

whims take words
take heart
take heed in the knowledge
that I
now fully adept in the art of failure
find fleeting
far be it from me
the poster child of indecency to
take more then life deems due
speak subtly of words now past
and make them
take them
for all they are
all they should be
the broken wings of apathy
left to nurse wounds long infested
time invested
yet i fail in finding worth
value
purpose in propriety
to be more then i ever thought I'd be

the new face of fortuity

me
