Sonnet 013

O, Be Yourself! O, Be Myself!
And one day we will no longer be
Against that coming end everyone prepares
To mark his or her fair image eternally be
Beauty, features we have wrought whole life
Erected proudly on the main floor of a museum
Our swan songs, smashing waves of symphony
For that moment I have sacrificed
By offering to Muse every part of me
Take this, with all its moles and gene
Grant me my spirits and my essence
And trash this frame that is not from me.
Yay! Spend it all, and do not save a dime
Call it wastage, and this I’ve self gained.
