The Grafter’s Side Of The Anvil

~ Dod yn ôl at fy nghoed ~

The Poetry of ‘Transmuting’
all Negativity from
the trolls and the haters
into finely-tuned Artwork.
You’re not ‘Shining’
are you, sunshine, eh?
… you’re loser-stalking.
“He’s trying to dress-up in
a suit made of your Energy,
Personality and ‘Imitated’
Talent, mate… seriously,
‘Mentally Ill’, that one…
he’s actually trying to
‘Replace You’, become you,
Obsessed like a Super Fan.”
Let them squirm and plot
and scheme and fall apart
… as you Progress, Evolve,
and grow Creatively-Richer
by remaining
… B-A-L-A-N-C-E-D…
and continuously mining
the ‘Skill’ which you were
uniquely Gifted with at birth.

* ‘Dod yn ôl at fy nghoed’ is a Welsh phrase which means ‘To return to my trees’; to return to one’s senses and a balanced state of mind.
