I would like to say that I am unlike the rest
But in saying that
I embody the rest
I would also like to say that I'm truthful
But in also saying that
I make myself good at lying
Dangerously good, in fact,
That I can make myself believe
I'm a good liar
And I think it would be nice to say
That I am bigger than what I think I am
That my ideas are more than ideas
But in saying that
I am both a liar
And honest
I am being both unlike the rest
And exactly like everyone else
Because we all believe we are bigger
But we can only believe that
For as long as we are honest with ourselves
Honest and lying,
Because thats what we are
I will be honest about this lie
About how we will wake up with these ideas
That are so much bigger than us
That are bigger than everyone else's ideas
So we can put them off
Until we better ourselves
Until we become richer others
Until we land the job
Until we quit the job
Until we meet our soul mate
Or until we are divorced
Whether we are waiting for a career
Or until tomorrow, when it's better than today
Or until we stop lying
Maybe when our dreams get smaller
So we think we can tackle them
Or maybe we're waiting for nothing
And maybe we're wasting time waiting
I'm going to stop honestly lying
About my dreams and ideas
That are bigger than myself
And adopt the motto,
"If not now, when?"
