Longing to be perfect,
In desperate need of inspiration,
Discouraged by disrespect
and a lack of admiration.
Infatuated by acceptance.
Fighting for your principles -
Without living up to them.
Being someone without any substance
Rather pursue generosity
and be victimized by adversity
Than reach the pinnacle of materialism
And be victimized by cursory.
Some serve, some lead, some follow.
To serve the followers is generous
To lead the followers is materialistic
To follow the leaders is cursory.
Never underestimate the -
predictability of stupidity
you are insecure because
your belief in me is not preserved.
