Carbon Copy

We live in a still life
Frames moving one at a time
Critics pick apart
My every line
But can't see the
Whole design

It's so easy to discredit
It's even easier to destroy
But trying to build-up or create
Opens me up to your judgement
I know the image
That I make
But it's not up to your requirements
I have so much at stake
Trying to be myself
Without being fake

And I'm too afraid to show
Any real side of me
The more I put on paper
The more erasers that I see

But maybe that's what you want
A photocopied version of me
That you can color as you see fit
Perfect your counterfeit

Until I'm a blur
In your memory
I won't even
Remember me

The more I move
The more I sink
The more I etch
The less that's there
The more I think
The less I care
