people don’t realise
i genuinely try to be kind
to everyone – but, if i feel
disingenuous manipulation
my toes curl and temper
flares beyond the shade crimson
which takes over my being
— is a grave understatement
society views those
who are altruistic
with uncandid thoughts
as ass kissers or those who plot
to get ahead by who you know
well, here’s a bit of unpleasant
news – i hold myself accountable
for every single ugly decision
i have made through my adventures
life is not about who you know
and where they can take you
it’s about untouched destinations
within your journey – where
an imprint is left to absorb
into our plasma rich earth
which in return will be cultivated
for those who come after us
