invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,

invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
don't swim in the same slough.
invent yourself and then reinvent yourself and 
stay out of the clutches of mediocrity.

invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
change your tone and shape so often that they can never categorize you.

reinvigorate yourself and
accept what is
but only on the terms that you have invented
and reinvented.

be self-taught.

and reinvent your life because you must;
it is your life and 
its history
and the present
belong only to 
you.

- Charles Bukowski
