I never wanted to be the best.
Just. Perfect
I didn't aim to be better or compete
For my heart I didn't want conceit
I walked a finer line for my own renown
Swearing only to get a heavenly crown
I never wanted to be rich.
Just Perfect.
I studied well but not the hardest
For to get success I wasn't so earnest
I instead searched for a sweeter dish
Swearing to follow towards 'The Lord's wish'
I never wanted to be the kindest.
Just. Perfect.
I'd give to others, no more than another
For if I'm kind I might grow as a lover
I build on a fence and embrace the stone
Knowing only that I'll never be perfect alone.
I never wanted to be the best.
I never wanted to be rich.
I never wanted to be kind.
I never wanted to be.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
