What You Lack (draft)

It's funny how what you need
becomes only what you want
funny how it crawls around
in attempts to redefine its insides,
to the extent that its a stranger within itself
a portrayal of a little boy lacking every ounce
of existence required to be a man.

Its audastic nature yells to its new agenda
everything it used to say to you
You've heard all of that before
the bits and pieces of pathalogical lyrics
that used to make your song
elementary words with no music behind them
lies that pacified you but now
they're meant for someone else.

It's so dissapointing how many people there are
without an ounce of realism within their souls.
