I love the edge
At the edge, bruises form
Do not use the difficulties of the times as an excuse for self-indulgence & do not blame yourself
It makes my tongue curl whenever I see both of them swaggering about with dark & serious expressions
A seed does not grow to become a tree
A life should not be ruined for a goal
Poetry—A moment of ignition or a moment of emergency, but don't call that transcendence or liberation
Think about it, your suffering doesn't make a single leaf greener
A lifetime as an artist is like a novice driver
Constantly going off track, but coming back around each time
Everyday life goes from feeling to fact, from danger to stability
Art is the opposite
You can't pick up your own body
We don’t know if that's the root of sorrow
