for acceptance
for popularity
for love
for purchase
for reward of efforts
has exhausted me
and i am done
i shall create in a
chasm
deeply inward and for
inner reward
i'll strive toward my own
acceptance
through expelling that
which demands expression
in whatever form
it takes
truth
i shall speak and
move in my
truth
i will paint
and not sell
i will ruin
and not whine
i will build
and shelter
protect and serve
love and grow old
and not ask
for more
