Can you appreciate simple?
If complex was all you knew?
Can you appreciate a downgrade?
If you upgrade everything you ever get?
Can you settle for a little less?
If that less brings you more happiness?
Or would you have to have the most?
Because it's an image you have to uphold
I'm asking because all that glitters isn't gold,
Today we're surrounded by superficial standards,
You expect greatness from my being,
But are you of that yourself
You want me to be real,
But every piece of you is fake,
So where is the commonality to grasp,
I should own a loft on every coast
Grasp millions in my hand,
And bust my ass for all I get,
Yet you're supposed to sit around and look good,
It seems looks are your tool to get what you want
Sadness,
You offer nothing but want everything,
Won't take a chance on less,
Because they don't appeal to the eye
But more only gets you material,
A blackened eye,
You becoming property,
I've seen it too many times
To sum it up,
Reach for what's in front of you,
Showing as real as day,
Don't overextend your boundaries
To grip something you can't control.
