wouldn't you rather

live in a world of peace instead of fighting for every piece

I want to figure out what your life means to you, when you've allowed so much extra to cling to you.

Wouldn't you rather live effortless and free, or do you think, "no those things haven't mattered much to me."

I'm wondering in what perspective you'd rather see or is being lead by the blind more your cup of tea.

I won't drink anymore, I'm turnt out on it.

You don't think anymore and I'm burnt out on it.

The feminist in me wants to run bare ass through your mind, rearrange your state of being, hold on to a thought at a time.

Don't undermine the authority

You know what you get with majority

To be different means minority

I know we're not your first priority

BUT IF YOU COULD JUST FUCKING PAY ATTENTION PLEASE

We're down here on our knees

Begging for more time to breathe

Seems simple enough to achieve

Of all things I must be naïve

You let it slip through the holes on your sleeve

For those who have passed may we grieve

Don't let the story misguide you, I wrote all of this to unwind you

I wanted to know what you saw

Criminals, or people executed by law

Love isn't a flaw

May be a utopian ideal but its the only defense we should draw
