Invent yourself



Invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
don't swim in the same slough.
invent yourself and then reinvent yourself and
stay out of the clutches of mediocrity.

invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
change your tone and shape so often
that they can never categorize you.

reinvigorate yourself and accept what is
but only on the terms that you have invented
and reinvented.

be self-taught.

and reinvent your life because you must;
it is your life and it's history and the present
belong only to you.



/ Bukowski - "Reinvent your Life"
