Down to Earth

Throw down your silver spoon.
I don’t have that to offer you.
But I have a heart and a soul.
If I give up everything, can you do the same?
Can you see past the money?

Is there more to this?
More than I can bare to see?
More than I will allow myself to see?
Because you can’t see past the plastic.

You accepted it all.
You accepted all that I am.
And I didn’t allow myself to believe it.
You were just hanging on for the next installment.
Allow me to install nothing.

In the meantime, download this.
See through this naive smile and young look.
I’m not the person you thought I might be.
I’m a lot more together than you thought.
Now run back to your safety net.

I am the one to bring you down to earth.
I’m not the one to make it fanciful.
I’m the one to bounce around situations,
I’m the one to show you yourself.
I’m not the one for you.
