THE POET'S SONG

CHORUS: Everything I say
seems so cliche
everything I write
seems so mundane
tell me, if I am not feeling 
poetic and clever 
is it still okay to express myself?
or am I obligated 
as a poet to always
sound great
and always make sense
these are the pressures 
I sometimes put on myself. 

BRIDGE: Don't get me wrong
Most of the time
I am fine- I am free
I am comfortable with being - a human
but then there's that time where I want to do more
I want it all!
I want to go... higher 
I feel so much - I want to say so much
in this grand and fantastical manner 
but hurried inspirations only lead to weak fires
or so I feel... 

VERSE 2: sometimes I feel
like my last work better be better then the last one
that I did
I don't know what it is
if it's inspiration or just unrealistic expectations for myself

VERSE: I'm feeling restless
again
I want to tell it all
again
but I can't
or I can, but I won't
because something stops me (I stop me) 
I am overly aware of the consequences of words
the consequences of being heard
and so I censor myself
I censor myself
I censor myself 

CHORUS: Everything I say
seems so cliche
everything I write
seems so mundane
tell me, if I am not feeling 
poetic and clever 
is it still okay to express myself?
or am I obligated 
as a poety to always
sound great
and always make sense
these are the pressures 
I sometimes put on myself. 

hurried inspirations only lead to weak fires...
