Grateful
I’m not perfect. I’m far from it. A clattering engine of destructive vices, a body average under Adonis, a mind weathered by experience and paradoxical in influence. / It has taken a lot of work and luck to become who I am today, with that ****** in the mirror tripping me up plenty along the way. / But in this moment, amongst our grand but insignificant civilisation, amongst our beautiful but minute planet, in this relative scope I sit here with you in...

Beginning with a B
Strange that something so accepted should still cause self consciousness before I approach it honestly / The relative anonymity this site gives me is for some reason still not enough to stop that pressure in the back of my mind / Here's me standing between that I guess, a self evaluative expression that deep down I'm okay with who I am
