#applaud
I'm hardly a boy, yet I'm hardly a girl
Fooling around, figuring out what to do
Meandering so, can't save you now!
Face your problems, with the brave of a shrew.
There's nothing left to look forward to
You've beat the game, what more do you want to do?
The curtains sway
As you give a bow
Shutting you out
From the audience, who,
Applaud as you grin
While the curtains are due
Leaving you on the stage that you grew on

So we may be taken — there
without further adieu,
As the morning sun — shines
on the morning dew.
Irremediably
connecting two dots,
In immediacy,
what we have lost!
Among the lunatic — and
the natural fraud,
We stand unprepared — so
ready to applaud.
Irremediably
connecting two dots,
In immediacy,
what we have lost!

Open the curtains to the show
Bow down politely
What do you know?
Strings tangled up
Wrapped all around
Spinning me
Twirling me
Making me dance
Dance to the beat of the fingers
Twisting the strings
Bending me like rubber
All for the plastic applause of the audience
Clap clap for whoever's on stage
Smiles are painted
Cheers are fake
Idolize me for my body
For my face
If you don't turn out like me
You'll be a disgrace

The praise of reflections were
but a mirage of recommended
echoes fading.
That collected in the coroners,
that praised the failings of empty
glorified nothingness

Everyone speaks
A million miles an hour
Each word
Growing more empowered
They think saying more,
Competing, interrupting
Proves that they know more
And won't be thought of as nothing
Well I'm the bird
That tries to tweet
When thunder crashes
And lightning streaks
Won't take the time
To hear my thoughts
So all I do
Is smile and nod
But that's okay,
No worries here,
Won't seek validation
From a strangers ear
Your hot air fills the room
While you seek your applause
I know my worth, applaud myself
So I just smile and nod

I don't care about
A standing ovation
Or a storm of applauding
Faceless crowds
All I care about is being applauded
By the right people
