In a flash it became clear
a concept apparent
yet elusive
Elusive because we all need
need to be recognized
need to be stroked
Want
want to be successful
want to be a name
We need it and want it so badly
so badly we attempt to
Impress
Impress for recognition
for accolades
for reward
Such a destructive force
this need to impress
buries our gifts
Life then becomes
intellectually perverse ass kissing
giving what we perceive they want
Striving to impress
begging approval
abandoning our creative selves
Those who will be truly creative
tapping into their innate gifts
must resist this urgent appeal of ego
We must trust the introspective self
exercise courage
in expressing our truth
Impressors die haunted by their cowardice
cowardice born of false ego feeding endeavors
joyous lives lost in fear of rejection by others
Expressors give their inner truth despite all
euphorically sharing the purity of their souls
take it or leave it
Impress them or
Express your true Self
Commerce or Creativity ?
