Write Like Nobody Is Reading

Sometimes I will sing without knowing the words. It's okay with me if you find it absurd. Most times when I write, I have nothing to say. that don't stop me from writing it anyway. When I first started writing, I thought that fame, was getting some people to follow my name. 'Till I realized that because they liked it, they probably were thinking, "Man, this is ****." But now it don't bother me if you scroll past. 'Cause I think that someday, my laugh will be last. When in a couple hundred years from this day, Some alien might dig what I have to say.

As long as they don't come with ray guns blazing trying to eliminate my crappy poetry.

Once I realized that I would never get rich, there was no pressure to write that perfect poem.
