As Simple As That

Impressive doesn't impress
Keep it simple 
My soul whispered
Touch the ground
Feel the dirt
As simple as that
Clap your hands
Slap your face
Hurt is the cost to wake
As simple as that
You can write big
Diamonds and pearls
For stones of words
I ask you my child
How genuine do you express
When you desire to impress
Write to express
Not just to impress
As simple as that
