Looking Past the Mannequin

We want to instantly harvest the fruits of our aspirations But cant stand perspiration Planting seeds steadily that form no roots lack of dedication Easily led to frustration Afraid that we may stumble so we drive Where we should walk Our tongues sometimes to humble like unalive When we should talk We see the paint but unfocused the picture Then want to critique Thats like entering a bank wanting a loan to be delivered But credentials weak Skipping various portions of the alphabet Vocabulary needing those discarded consonants Skiing without caution then comes regrets Like killing and leaving the evidence Compliments on the mannequins fashion Disregarding the behind the scenes action
