Readers

Trying to build up
Trying to gain muscle
But what's it all for
Just so I can show up and be adored
By everyone who passes through the door

I can do that in other ways too
Maybe with my poetry
Maybe with my intelligence
But I guess people only appreciate what they see

I hope one day people can learn to read my pages
But I guess for now I'll just keep working on my cover
