So, you know,
just how far some thoughts go, sown

I use scents and potions, and write,
and maintain basic,
rudimentary sanitation, orderly mindstate;

but that is not so I can say so, no,

I do not know why it is, but on the streets,
I blend in,
I belong right.
--- in any city I appear the ***.

Not here, indeed, a breeze asks no entrance,

I hear my grandson,
next for puberty, in this life,
whistling, not tunefully, but casually,
hearing himself whistle bits of someday songs,

as he does his Saturday screen free time.
A bit of my Saturday, for general baseline - what I aimed at, to what I got.

You said I was selfish...
I believe you..
You said I'm not that bright...
I believe you...
You said I'm not fit for this surroundings...
I believe you...
You said I've made a mess...
I believe you...
You said I could've done something better...
I believe you...
You said he is better...
I believe you...
You said I'm not worth it...
I believe you...

You say I was wrong...
I BELIEVE YOU...

What do I say about myself?...
I don't know...
All my own voices have gone timid
Drown by your tumultous remarks...
Silence now...
