Rugged Creature

Why do I think the way I think and do the things I do?

By Rowan Finley Published 4 years ago 1 min read

I am a rugged creature.

With the wildest of urges and impulses.

Cannot seem to understand myself.

I don't know if I want to anyway.

If I did, how would it change things?

Strange drives to perform in ways I should not.

Strange thoughts that fail to fall from the closets of my soul.

Odd methods of speaking in my own native tongue.

Odd actions that makes little to no sense to even myself.

A funny means of discovering the truth.

A funny means of getting just one simple task completed.

Fascinating attractions and affections.

Fascinating, rugged creature's mind cannot bend toward tradition.
