Drip
I am my own muse
I only need my words above to choose
What I will say next and I just lit the fuse
I still don’t know if I write for me or only to amuse
The many who I feel are reading yesterday’s news
Even if they found the meaning, soon they would begin to lose
The reason they were put here
it must be more than just tying my noose
If so, they should move on to the next poor fool
Cuz I am here to stay, from under me you can kick this stool
I will still stand tall, no matter how devious no matter how cruel
The world does seem, cuz I don’t need anything, not even a jewel
So put down your wristwatch I already know the time
Besides I wasn’t talking to you, to your left is a dime
When we meet eyes my mouth keeps shut, I could be a mime
Maybe the words won’t show, but if I had you as all mine
I wouldn’t want something that ended in the morning, say around nine?
They say nice guys finish last, but that’s okay I’ll just stay behind
Didn’t know who I was racing anyway, so with this loss I’ll be fine
So much worth put into these awards of gold, material has made them blind
Cuz they will never see me and as for the trophies
I never really needed to shine
I don’t have much but you won’t hear me start to wine
I’ve been waiting this whole time and I’m still at the back of this line
I don’t want much from you, perhaps we could go out and dine
It’s nice to get away, these fakes make me feel covered in slime
If they knew me they’d throw me out quicker than they would a bad lime
Cut out what I have to offer and treat me like the other rind
Dried up and alone but I still got half a mind to make this rhyme
Best do what you can cuz your bell will soon chime its last chime
