I got my shit together the way I was always told to.
I sacrificed
my happiness
for old-world values that just don’t take root with a mind twisted by design.
I’m starting to realize
that no one particularly cares about
anyone
or anything (Unless it personally affects them, of course)
and that thought is
very freeing
like death
The fact that no one cares
means my choices only matter to me.
What I do and create is of no concern to
him or
her
or them or
the society or
their religion or
my ‘picture perfect’ idealized (fetishized)
self.
and that is freeing
Doesn’t mean I have to be shitty or try any less-
It just means that I’m free to follow my bliss.
