Better
A better you—
who is it?
The man in a suit
shaking hands in Hollywood?
With the president,
the queen?
Is it the confidence
to get any woman you meet?
A suave attitude—
a ladies’ man like Bond.
Who’s the better you?
The one put together—
mature, handsome,
success?
If that’s the best version
of yourself,
then fuck it—
you’re the filthy,
ugly, grimy rat
scraping shit money
at a dead-end job.
If you can’t be yourself,
you’re not original—
a better you?
God, you sound like
a motivational life coach.
If you become someone else,
hiding that part of you—
you’ll be successful, yes,
but no one will like you,
not even yourself;
drinking martinis at a party
with snobby assholes
you’d rather be away from.
Be above shame
and live your shitty self
with pride.
