“This poem was an intentional declaration to set my life back into motion before i turned 30. This is a milestone that meanS something—not the years behind me, but the one coming up—that, i had control over because i couldn’t do anything about the years behind me. So the one right in front of me i decided was going to be different. I stripped and went into the wilderness to make it so. ‘LET ME’ is a command. I commanded - demanded that i become the subject and i did.”
