Weird Existence

Existence is weird: We go forward to look backwardWe remember so to regretWe doubt so to believe We smile so to be inauthenticWe cry so to be authenticWe think so to be stuck We grow so to decayWe breathe to stop breatheWe live so to die.

(In) Authenticity

We all go around fakingLaughing at the authenticAuthenticity scares usFalsity consoles us We think we’re betterOur true self knows we’re notWe think we’re wiserOur intelligence knows we’re not We go around signalling virtuesLonging for our ego’s rescueWhen reality hits usOur Naked self terrifies us
