want to be like you
dear idol i
want to be you
scratched your name into my arms
your face is my tattoo
your tattoo is my face
i've been listening a decade
Love Yourself, Speak Yourself
These are the messages carried through their speeches
In large rooms full of their critics
Under the hawk eyes of netizens
Waiting, watching
Bated breath
When hearing the phrase
"O Captain, My Captain"
I can only think of one person to
fit this criteria.
Robin Williams is and was
the only person to
accurately portray what it was like
to struggle
I see these plastic people, Barbie dolls.
With their dream houses and expensive cars.
And their plastic friends, at their plastic malls.
Getting “white-girl wasted” at plastic bars.
Under the stars we wait
For a taste of your voice
The surreal melody sweet as fate
Spread your wings, play your trumpet
Loudly so the world can hear it
Let us hear your heavenly grace
Am I a role model? /
A question I ask myself/
A past life of blunts and bottles/
New life, new thoughts, new self/
Pondering what goals in life are mine/
Is this me or someone else/
I won’t write tonight
____only cause the words
____keep stubbing toes
and maybe my belly hurts too.
