genius

be yourself

there are no rules anymore, nothing to play by, be who you are and express yourself freely and

oh, so this is allowed now? oh it doesn't have to be rhymes

this is art, you're

an artist just place the

line break between lines

where they wouldn't expect it,

write something about

hollow feelings, or deep ones

you can lie, too

they'll buy it, the few friends you have

and they'll never believe the true stories anyway so

go and play with your words,

be daring, be brave

you're rebellious

and pretending to be an artist,

copying styles

and it never takes more than five minutes, except when you force it

you genius

and you're wondering why they don't publish your works, well, guess what: you were right in your doubts and this doesn't take any talent,

you're just a liar

maybe if you were honest it'd work but then again

if you were honest you'd have nothing to say

so deep in your web that you don't even know what your honesty is anymore

if they told you to be pure you'd ask me for answers and tell them whatever i told you to say

you're not deep but sure have them tell you you are

you're not hurt

and you certainly don't have talent,

you just figured out

a way to convince them

and now you call out the liars around you

but it's not your intention and you'd love to be true

you'd even stop lying if you knew what that meant but you don't,

and you know when you rhyme you just write what sounds nice,

you forget about being you
