“I don't utter a single word that I wouldn't want to become part of the canon, but person can't live on discipline alone, so, having no lover to take my armor off for, I found a different way to vent my vulnerability - in the mainstream work I'm a pillar of strength, while turkish is quite literally my love language - english is the language where my brain feels at home, turkish is the language where my heart finds rest.”

“Naskaristana 2789
I arrived with a clever brain,
walked among clever apes,
studied history written by winners,
so I could earn some ape respect.
Then I got weary of all the hypocrisy,
idolizing morons as savior of humanity,
mistaking the lens for the landscape,
confusing privilege as social sanity -
frustrated I plunged into fire,
brain, vanity, esteem, the lot,
all reputation burnt to ashes,
what remain is unflinching humanity.”
