The failed aspirations of poets,

Man, I don't even know what that means,

But I think I see it every day.

If you listen, listen with a mind open

You can hear it in the daylight,

Make out the whispers in the shadows,

The strange taste of men's souls.

And I can see why so many artists work alone.

Paper is pure, but people, people are judgmental.
