Ambivalent to the critics
Recreating identities in the forge
The master of one’s own image
Youth that will live forever
Enthusiasm is common, endurance is rare*
Make to break and embrace mistake
Public gestures; look upon this fool!
The larger-than-life, the clown despite
Years of training to teach otherwise
An acrostic formed around a quote from *Angela Duckworth
1994ever 
Potent and on point
