About Me


my name is robin and I have super low self-esteem.

"a real estate fronts as opportunities arousing
to make some condos out of low income housing
immediately we need some media heat
to say that gangs run the street and then we bring in the police fleet
harrasing everbody till they all look inebriated
when we bought the land motherfuckas will appreciate it
dont worry about the urban league or jesse jackson
my man that owns marlboros donated a fat sum"


comment?

When I sit in filth and turn my brain off, strings of words tend to come to mind

I stand before a pool of boiling waterI fall in.Once I become fully immersed in the water I see that it is not boiling.I am free.
