"Be yourself
Be original"
They say
But everything has been used
Every idea thought
They are ghosts of well known or forgotten stories

"Be Original".
Have your own style
How can I when I'm wearing someone else's?
A hundred other people are wearing these jeans
T-shirts
Hoodies

"Be Original".
Do your own thing
But everything has been done
Every adventure, taken.
I would be copying if I was original

"Be Original".
Speak your thoughts
But only quotes roll off my tongue
Every word spoken a billion times
In a million different sentences
In a thousand different languages

"Be Original".
But the the only unique part about me
I cannot say.

Be Original
