Become more, for what? For who? Why does it matter anymore? Defining traits, Surface level, it’s all they want anyways So why even bother to face the pain Introspective And reflective Admired only by myself Not even in their language, Mesmerized and entertained, chasing always their counterfeited dreams, come to think of them as fiends True gold is not recognizable by their shallow eyes They fall for a quicker, shinier version, enlaced and filled with lies “Cool,” their defining trait Depth, care little if you portray Theyd prefer the certain ease and masking of reality Or perhaps they’re not even conscious of it, perpetually surrounded, lacking any reflection internally See in others a reflected mirror image of themselves, providing a generic purpose, so life it seems has simplicity Simplicity is a lie Any man who believes he possesses it is merely in an altered state of mind Ignorance will only carry you so far Until time will make you see Life is so complex, so we drown it out and reduce it down, begging to question what is REALity?
