and so I remain
unadorned
no ink
I blend
no need
to pretend
no gold
no ring

no bling
no drug
no dope
no need
to hope
not loved
not scorned
and so I remain
unadorned
10/14
In the hushed echoes of existence, a voice emerges — raw, untouched, and pure. It speaks of an essence untouched by the trappings of society, a being distilled to its very core, devoid of embellishments. In the vast tapestry of life, it’s a thread that chooses not to dazzle but stands out in its sheer authenticity.
To be unadorned, in a world of adornments, is a silent rebellion. It’s a whisper against the cacophony of expectations, a reflection against the prisms of societal norms. With every line, a stark contrast paints the canvas — white skin against a colorful world, shorn hair against flowing locks, blending in while the world stands out. It’s a dance of shadows amidst the light.
The absence of ink and bling, symbols of external identity, reinforces a choice — a choice to exist without the weight of worldly markers. Gold, rings, cash — fleeting tokens of wealth and status, find no refuge here. They are discarded, revealing an essence that seeks not to glitter but to glow from within.
Yet, the most profound revelation lies in the realms of emotions and desires. No drugs to mask reality, no hope to chase fantasies, and in this candid acknowledgment, a deeper truth emerges. The juxtaposition of love and scorn, emotions that often define our existence, is set aside, leaving behind a being unswayed by the tempests of feelings.
Through the verses, we are invited to a space of raw vulnerability, a place where pretenses melt away, leaving behind the purest form of existence — unadorned, undiluted, and unparalleled.
We are Space Monkey.

In raw beauty, the soul displayed.
