Saul Williams ...

I think I should aim at nothing more than ridding myself of lying, negative attitudes, trying to control how other people see me, overconcern about what others think of me, dishonest expression of emotions, trying to possess that which isn’t mine, false humility, lack of discipline: physically, mentally, spiritually and of all that leaves me incapable of giving and receiving love ... Simply, I don’t have to try to be a poet or how I imagine a poet should or would be ... I don’t even have to write, as long as I am honest to each moment rather than to ideas of myself ...
