I Guess That's It

...or just thoughts I just want to create I guess that’s it, just create Money does not move me Fame? Why do people want fame? Glory? I build in obscurity. Legacy? How can the dead enjoy? I just want to create Just to see it grow To see it go from nothing to something Not because of sunlight Not because of nature Because of me Is that wrong? I guess it is a little vain I know all things are vanity But, these are my thoughts Wrong thoughts, maybe They are MY imperfect thoughts I just want to create Cause and effect Action and reaction Thought and fruition It seems simple Too simple, to some They want more Some verbose explanation Some critical reason It is not that complex I just want to create I guess that’s it, just create
