I feel like, as a species,
If we humans sung more,
Danced more,
Wrote more,
Acted more,
Drew more,
Or even watched and appreciated someone doing those things,
This world would be a better place.

I'm not saying that we have to strive for world peace,
Anyone with common sense knows that it isn't possible.
I'm just saying we would be happier if we indulged ourselves in the little things.
Some hold the hand of God to get by,
And that's just fine,
But that doesn't work for everyone.
Some people look to drugs so they can see tomorrow a little clearer,
But some people don't want to hurt themselves like they do.
Maybe a cigarette every now and then, or a little drink.
But not something I need.
Never something I need.

Music is my drug.
Writing is my alcohol,
And all I want to do is OD.
I want to see the colours,
I want to pick up my guitar for all the right reasons.
I want to write and be seen.
I want to act and be known.
I must be an addict of my own creativity,
Because all I want is more.

I just have to sit and wonder,
Why am I one of the few?
