what use are they for the world today
because I get the feeling they mean less and less
what more should I say
The gift of art, speech and word
now these seem absurd
as a child they meant so much
but not now they are only worth a small bunch
I am told to disregard these gifts
to let them fade
because my intelligence it does not lift
being able to draw does not make a business made
It does not matter if my creativity is my dream
or if it is my desire
because in the end what does it mean
they say in the end it will only make me tire
they say I have no chance to make it into that world
the world of the greats, the ones who society they have swirled
they tell me to give up now and focus on the things that will "sustain" me in time
but this life is mine
I will take my chance, if I fall then I fall
and I will get back up and stand up tall
I will go the way that my heart desires
not the way the world conspires
They can wish whatever they please for me
but that will not come about they will see
sorry world, I am going my own way, my own path
and I guess we will see the after-math
