I believe
That people often say
Things they mean to say
In words they do not.
Metaphors desensitize us.
They're acceptable lies,
Bent truths.
Like light through a prism
Each spectrum is association
And the intermediate color you illuminate
Is the result of the lies you deny
The lies you accept
And the ones you only recognize.
"I say what I mean, I mean what I say"
We even lie to ourselves
To make our lies sound better.
Even Shakespeare knew
Words mean nothing
Because what is said, isn't meant.
And what is meant, cannot be said.
I believe
People often say
Things they do not mean.

Literature
We've Got A Fighter
Whether it's ink or scars on your skin
Whether its a hundred yards or to Mars you've been.
Nevermind your size or stride or build or skill
Everybody's got a story, everybody's got a shoe to fill.
You're either gonna fill it or you're gonna fall.
No matter
It's what you make of it all.
If you don't fill it, somebody else will be claiming your spot.
If you don't feel it, all your talent is gonna do is rot.
If you don't show it, ain't nobody gonna know it
Your name, your face, And everything you symbolize.
