Staying Relevant in a World of Irrelevance

Rip your name tag off

When someone asks you "sorry, what is your name?"

Laugh and tell them "irrelevant"

I am irrelevant

The mere notion of being unconnected to this chaos

Inapplicable to this madness

And peripheral to this sensitivity the world wears as a crown

I am irrelevant

A fly on the wall

A soul trying to survive in existence

A flame killed as daylight dances

No irrelevance does not degrade my individuality

It does not sugarcoat my pain

It's not glamorizing negativity

It's the recognition of knowing what this world wants for you and saying "No"

It's the recognition of knowing what you need

A safe space to rekindle and build.

Staying irrelevant doesn't just mean abusing your worth.

It means disconnecting yourself from what this world has made you.

And using this as momentum to stay relevant in a world of irrelevance.
