" Shame be damned—own the ruin of yourself.
Wear the failure like a vintage coat
—torn, tattered heart—
you are a worn out classic,
a soul of arcane salt and grit.

Outcast,
iconoclast,
standfast.
Beyond the black and white blah of buttondown norm
we clash and crash
in the candle-lit dusk
of conscious dreams and darkest desires "

― L.M. Browning , Drive Through the Night
