Most people who think they are better than anyone. Often choose to make selfish decisions that isolate themselves from others, because they think they have an upper hand or advantage.
When everything is good with them, they push everyone away. They act like they won’t need anyone.
They think they will always be wanted and begged. Not knowing that people get tired especially if there is no reciprocation of what they do.
Years later everyone must sympathize and feel sorry for them, because they are lonely, sad, and miserable because of the decision they choose to make when they were at the good space.

“Why You Must Speak Your Name
(Naskaristana 2593)
You know why I have to mention my name
over and over, in as many places as I can,
even though the name is not important -
it's because my name represents every people
ever trampled beneath the feet by the
half-educated apes out to spread "civilization" -
my name represents the congolese,
my name represents the palestinians,
my name represents the sikhs,
my name represents the muslims,
my name represents each and every human being
incarcerated for merely existing.
So I say again, the name is not important,
yet you must speak your name,
because every time a human speaks their name,
an ape loses their footing in history.”
