"Bare"
There’s no creativity that we share
Turning the necessities bare
Yet we continue to stare
Into the air –
Hoping for inspiration there
Your mind’s made up
You’ve thrown the cup
The canvas that held this
Has been knocked over
And it’s paint is running dry
Why can’t I solve the impossible
Do you know?
I’m tired of you getting angry
I’m sure you’re tired of me changing
Ideas, but that’s how they are
Coming and going is how they start
You must not take off
You’ve got to fly this plane
Don’t go getting soft
You must remain the same
Keep your posture
Don’t get lost there
You might stumble
But don’t crumble
Let’s keep this streak alive
I’ll be the man on the side
Just nodding
You keep plotting
While my neck stiffens
And the pace quickens
No opinion for input
Dominion for output
Just keep it bare
Simple to not care
Leave it or be
Left square
