Isolation is a 
non-negotiable popularity contest

My own demise
is a petulant sucker-punch

Some part of me craves
sacrosanct experimentation

Shame is a stingy welter

Bias is a
futile maelstrom

Forgetting is
an obstinate junkyard

Bias is a feckless lens

Loss is a capricious compass

Frailty is human apathy
