The Zero I Need To Be

Folder: 
Published Works

I've emptied myself of all
                the surrealistic garbage
imposed on me by the boggled
             society we've let grow
     like a stone around us.
With images of brushing hair
          and
                      applying
oils into my hair, I've become
                    the antithesis of
                             corporate bullsh*it.
I won't wear your name on my chest.
Company logos do not define me.
I won't eat your advertised food.
Instead
               I eat the filth of truth.
The groveling of reality
                       as it flickers into thought.
Just let me be the
                                   zero I need to be.
