You know what?

I'm a surface kind of girl.

Advertisements advertise, and TVs televise,

and liars tell lies. It's that simple.

Dogs bark to the skies, and cats purr out their lives,

and babies wail cries. It's that simple.

The grass was green (once), the sky was blue (once)

and Life will be mean (once). It's that simple.

Why does everyone else want more than that?

Dogs and pigs suddenly metaphorical for cleverness and dirtiness?

Rain as the tears of God? A child angry, now, a diabolical spawn?

Advertisements meant to change your personality?

TV created to steal our vitality?

No...come on, surface remember.

We all have flaws period

We all know love and hate period

Some of our dreams have escaped period

We never wanted it to happen that way period

Okay. It's that simple.

I think if I try any harder,

to find intention and ulterior motives, to discover proof...

I'll just get farther and farther

from the truth.
