Arrogant
He writes like a man obsessed
with impressing them all with his diction
He uses words noone else would
to prove he's beyond their comprehension
He builds his life up in mystery
too wrapped up in demanding attention
He surrounds himself with verbosity
to hide his thousands of imperfections
Take your arrogant words
and go back to your little world
where your self important diatribes
can reverberate on the walls
Does it make you feel important?
when people read your scrawl
He doesn't see how they can't stand him
While he shoves more down their throats
Spewing bile and worthless comments
Who could relate to him, self absorbed
Can't turn his view farther outward
Still whining about the life
that we all live
and he can't take
when he won't learn
from his mistake
and noone cares
and thinks he's fake.
(Self depricating writing. After being called arrogant in my writing again.. wrote this as a rebuke to myself for not being relatable in my writing. I don't intend to change for anyone. I'm not sure why I wrote this so harshly on myself, I think its just to get my fears of being arrogant out in fire instead of just letting it get the best of me. I don't believe that I'm the person I'm writing to in this song, but that its an aspect of my personality that I need to keep in check.)
For the record, I don't write anything with the intention of being arrogant.. I don't even think I am? If I am I surely don't have the right to be. I just write what I feel, I don't mean to use big "impressive" words.. they're all just words to me. If you want an idea of what I'm talking about, there are a few threads below that might show you what I mean.
