Irony
Sorry did I laugh out loud?
It's the irony that's so funny?
So much time and energy wasted,
Spending all of it,
on materials and money.
things that I no longer cherish,
they are worthless in my heart,
so many other things come first,
like, shooting for these stars.
I no longer waste myself,
on these things that never satisfy,
always wanting, needing, more and more,
but they don't see, the store, from inside.
They're on the inside, so they never look out,
I'm outside, been inside before already,
that's the irony without a doubt!
Dying so bad to shop there,
the miss the sunshiny days,
going in and out, shop to shop,
just going on with selfish ways.
They buy from shops, to fill their homes,
when it's the void inside, they're trying to feel.
I tag the stores with my graffiti words,
spray paint covers me from head to heel.
All these jewels and clothing,
must keep skeletons in your closets warm,
hiding behind, what's really inside,
their shadows hold a form.
If you want to really be free,
you must not hold these material things.
For beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
and your eyesight changes as you get older!
