The Woodwork is Waiting

An Instructive Acrostic

By Lightning Bolt ⚡Published about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read
Transparency is a process.

I nner belief shapes outer form.

N othing matters— make that your norm.

V anity is an undeserved luxury.

I llusory value is demoralizing drudgery.

S hattered soul-shards silently slice.

I ndifference tastes like sugar & spice.

B ottle up and obliterate every precious drop of hope.

I dentity is a construct as insubstantial as smoke.

L imit or eliminate every independent tendency.

I nferior individuals survive only through dependency.

T ake what is given & go to bed grateful.

Y earning for more is rebellious & hateful.
