Explain It To Me
When I was younger...
I thought there was something wrong with me.
As i grew older, I realizedI was just crazy
You didn't believe me
thought I was overreacting
Then I told you that you were crazy too
But not crazy in the way that I am
My crazy and your crazy are two diffrent things
Your crazy because you conform to the rules and ways of society
You let it dictate your life
Decide who you are going to be
You focous on what you
Have to do
Rather than what you
Want to do
I on the other hand
am crazy for doing it all
school work and a my work are not equal partners
This book
This book right here
This book is my heart
Upgraded and unrated
My work should come first
even it comes at the expense
of not handing in my homework
why should I complete something
that I honestly don’t care about
simply to turn in to someone
to judge my work
judge my worth
someone who by the way
I will only encounter for an average of about a year in my life
I like photography
but I have not time for photography
how am I supposed to grow as a photographer
when I have no time for photography
I mean practice makes perfect right
let’s change the status quo
create a place where doing what you love
does not
come second to doing what people think you love
a place where
we’ll be alright
we’ll be okay
a place where the only rule we will follow is
to never have anything but pure raw passion for
everything
we do
let’s be like the greats and paint
a lot.
Again
Practice
Makes
Perfect
Right?
let’s be crazy for once
No
Wait
let’s also keep calm
let’s kick back and relax
and do what we love
without
worrying about
deadlines
report cards
or commitments we didn't even want I make in the first place
but made anyway to please those around us
If not caring for a little bit is what it takes to be truly content with what I do
then bring on the selfish
because I want to take a better photograph
scratch that
I
will
take a better photograph
because I’ll have time to learn
and you'll do whatever it is that you love
and get better at that
let’s dress like hipsters and run
far
far
away
somewhere where they
can’t
catch up
I want to live a life in neon
and return to be happier versions of ourselves
I'm crazy
and you are too
let’s be crazy together
because I think I'm crazy for you
