"The struggle has taught me again and again / To live with what is and not what might have been"
Revolution Resolution
This is a New Year's revolution
New Year's Eve birthday resolution:
To say and do exactly what I please
Nor crawl to the unworthy on my knees
To never kiss another stupid ass
But wait for the stupidity to pass
And I will still be here
Of that I have no fear
Because I am going to live forever
You ask how I know? Because there has never
Been anyone like me
And I intend to be
Myself in all my specificity
And those who do not like me may go straight to hell
To fool with fools no longer is a lesson well
Learned well earned well burned and all of it the hard way
Today is my birthday and today I can say
And can do whatever I damn well please
Today I rise to get up off my knees
The struggle has taught me again and again
To live with what is and not what might have been
