Who are we?- For the love of art, for the love of you.

Who are we?

Our deepest depression is the seeking
Of our own vanity
Our foolish pride of what we appear like,
Deceiving ourselves of the disgusting image of others
Vomiting at the slight thought of other’s joy
But who are we to despise?

Who are we to pour water,
Upon the great fires of the ambitious?
Who are we to look once, twice, thrice
And wrinkle our noses?
                                                                                Are we perfect?

If we are then let the judge of all judges be the judge of that
Out aloud we mock, criticize and make fun of others;
Our jealousy and frustration as fierce as a famished wolf
Shall one not succeed?
All because our jealous tails tag one?

Our words and arrogance hurt and break thy confidence of others
Yet praise we seek from others,
Hatred and vengeance are created by our ways
Who are we;
To bring falls of tears on other’s eyes?
