Unoriginal


Each word I say,

Has been said.

Each tone I use,

Has been used.


Each book I read,

Has been read.

Each song I sing,

Have been sung.


Each thing I do,

Has been done.

Each breath I inhale,

Is the air someone has inhaled.


Therefore nothing I do is original.

None of these words are mine.

No phrases I say send a signal.

And yet anything I own isn't fine.


Everything I touch,

Has been touched.

Everything see,

Has been seen.


Everything I play,

Has been played.

Everything I know,

Has been known.


Everything I word,

Has been worded.

Everything I think

Has been thought.


Therefore everything I know is fake.

None of these ideas are mine.

All these voices in my head aren't of me.

Stop wasting your valuable time.
