The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
The shape of rage
Twisted, angered geometry
Contorting flesh
Changing my anatomy
Take away
This healthy human form
And replace it
With broken, mismatched bones
My blood flows for its life
Muscles tighten, my skin is dry
Breathe the air that keeps it growing
Surrender flesh so it can mold me
The shape of rage
Growing, disabling
Mark the host and
Survey the territory
Architecture of a
Violent history
Embodied in flesh
And ripping internally
Contusions mark my once soft skin
Shapes once perfect now disfigured
Unfamiliar to friends and family
Unwanted by those around me
I fear something
Inside of me
What can it be?
Revolutions; the spreading of disease
An open body
Abjection
A subject caught
With organs and with signs
Take them out
And rearrange them
A corporal drift
Corrupted, deconstructed
I'm not in control
Of this body
It has taken me hostage
I'm carrying my own, my own death sentence
The shape of rage
Twisted, angered geometry
Contorting flesh
Changing my anatomy
Take away
This healthy human form
And replace it
With broken, mismatched bones
My blood flows for its life
Muscles tighten, my skin is dry
Breathe the air that keeps it growing
Surrender flesh so it can mold me
Twisted, angered geometry
Contorting flesh
Changing my anatomy
Take away
This healthy human form
And replace it
With broken, mismatched bones
My blood flows for its life
Muscles tighten, my skin is dry
Breathe the air that keeps it growing
Surrender flesh so it can mold me
The shape of rage
Growing, disabling
Mark the host and
Survey the territory
Architecture of a
Violent history
Embodied in flesh
And ripping internally
Contusions mark my once soft skin
Shapes once perfect now disfigured
Unfamiliar to friends and family
Unwanted by those around me
I fear something
Inside of me
What can it be?
Revolutions; the spreading of disease
An open body
Abjection
A subject caught
With organs and with signs
Take them out
And rearrange them
A corporal drift
Corrupted, deconstructed
I'm not in control
Of this body
It has taken me hostage
I'm carrying my own, my own death sentence
The shape of rage
Twisted, angered geometry
Contorting flesh
Changing my anatomy
Take away
This healthy human form
And replace it
With broken, mismatched bones
My blood flows for its life
Muscles tighten, my skin is dry
Breathe the air that keeps it growing
Surrender flesh so it can mold me
