in lieu of saying my mind, here goes something (from my mind)

you make me laugh
with all your petty facades
your higher than thous
your "better because"

i'm different than you
in only one way
no matter what comes along
i don't save face

and that makes me
to you a bigger threat
because no matter what you can do
you don't know what to expect

and yet i don't try
any politics
social stuff aside
its all bullshit

i never use anyone
to get ahead
when all it really is
a self esteem boost

i don't try
to become idolized
looked up to
recognized

i just want to be a part
to have fun
with everyone
even though it's naught

you give a compliment
and look at me kind
not knowing i can see otherwise
in the back of your mind

it's all going to fall
crumble to the ground
and you'll be left there
wondering, hoping to be found

legacy crushed
dynasty forgotten
not knowing where to pick up from
not knowing what happened

and all it ever was
was just a little stepping stone
that was important to some
and overall, petty and it showed

and i'll be moving on
with greater memories
because i don't have to second guess trust
because I actually made these (memories)
