Open Mind/Empty Soul [wattys2019]

DISTORTION

Not everyone's gonna be a fan of your work
Everyone's a critic
As if they have nothing better to do
But who else knows you better than you

To your own story, you are the greatest
witness
Every struggle
Every celebration and heartaches
Every deed and every sin
You know them all
As you have lived them all

You know the story of each scars
These are the strokes in your piece of art
These make you who you are
Human
Full of cracks and holes
Sadly, some may see you only for those

Like a broken piece of machine
A pointless thought
A good for nothing
Unless if it's for mockery
And perhaps even heartless
Tragic and unworthy
Only a fool would dare say it's magic

But you can't blame them if that's all they see
And you forgive them anyway
As you need to
Because no one is a better judge
And hate will not help you

You know deep within that you're trying to be better
Who are they to dictate what you must and must not

Allow yourself to be a subject to ridicule
For the eyes are the needs of a masterpiece
And opinionated mouths need to feed
Using the hands of a shallow mind
The hands that fail to grasp the beauty you possess

You cannot please everyone
And you must not live to please

Carry on

You will be hated and judged like you're the worst

Let them be

For their minds are closed to possibilities
As if they know all
And do only the right things
Hypocrites
