Write It Down With A Pen
I am lost
In faces and names
In a big world
thats full of games
I will be gone
in a blink of an eye
one day I'll leave
Possibly without saying goodbye
and the things that I do
and the things that I say
will pop up somewhere
in an almost creepy way
Because everything you do
Everything you think
Has been done before
Even this, just think
think of something completely unique
do you really think you’re the only one
who thinks the way you do
who likes the same things as you
who reads the same books as you
who draws or paints or makes what you make?
Because you are not alone in what you do
No matter what it is
I guarantee
Someone has done it
before you or me
and someone else will say it
again and again
thinking they’re unique
Write it down with a pen
and tell people about the thing they ‘discovered’
and get praised
and thanked
and they'll get on a stage
not knowing that someone long, long ago
Someone said the same exact words
But got left
Alone
Because it doesn't matter what you say.
If you're not loud and proud,
there is not much you can do
to be noticed through the crowd
Of millions and billions
Of people with big dreams
Of people wanting something
to be heard, discovered or seen
there is not enough stage for everyone
so we push and prod
but once we get to those eager eyes
we are doing it for the wrong
reasons
either money
or power
Or greed
Were doing it for something
that someone else needs
we lose sight of what we wanted
Since the very start
And no one will ever know
the most important stuff
Because its hidden away
because we get payed
Behind the stage and the tv sets
is all sorts of damage and disarray
and no one knows because the important people get payed
To not say
and to no longer think
Hope you liked it

while the general thing has most likely been done before the small variations is what makes it unique . in my life i have had a few opportunities for notoriety but shied from it for several reasons. truth is that one can very much change the world by changing the lives of people around us in a positive manner. You do not need fame to to that just a voice and most importantly action <3 one deed at a time ripples more than you know ...
Awesome that you are lifting your voice @giraffeonskates.
I live and learn; well done, and thank you...
You are amazing.
I shared this on a post I think it related to well by @wales.
This is a extract of what I wrote.
"...no one has lived from your specific perspective, there is always someone who will benefit from your words. A slightly different take on the same idea might mean a breakthrough epiphany for the ears or screens they happen to land upon. Don't stop until you cease to draw breath. Breathing is involuntary, so don't worry about time frame, you are not in charge of the vessel in which you believe you are at the helm of, as much as we think the sum of our synapses means we are, we are occupying space until... No one knows, but there are countless notions, some outrageously entertaining. 😁"
Enjoy yourself darling child, you have talent and the world at your feet. Insights way beyond your years, that is not always easy. X
Well done, @giraffeonskates.
