The Proud Man

Forget ‘wrong’. Stop chasing ‘right’.

Let the crown rust and the jewels fall into the dark.

Let ego drift out to sea.

Roam in the open, dodge the dead ends.

Breathe in their fumes — breathe out golden rays.

Know you’re not owed anything.

Pause, reflect. Evolve, and save the last word for a better day.
