No Vanity

3/27/22



To portray it accurately
It all does not come naturally
Few can understand the gravity

As a cog in humanity
Having no vanity
Struggling financially
And with sanity

It's not just mentality
Or in anatomy
It's part of mortality

Always going to be the peanut gallery
Agony
Heartbreak and tragedy
Just the way of life, and how it has to be

Use to make me want to jump off the balcony
Thinking rationally
Now I see the importance of reality
Friends and family

Who has the last laugh we'll see
In all totality
Does it matter actually?
It's not about all this crap to be

At times in another galaxy
Woke up underneath an apple tree
Got the job done single-handedly
Remained curious about alchemy
