Syccophantasised

i didn't come seeking fame

or fortune for that matter

i just wanted to unload

maybe have a bit of a natter

i came here to dump my stuff

to release the burden in my mind

i came here to have it put on paper

and then into something that i could bind

i didn't come seeking your adulation

nor your praise or your critique

a little acceptance wouldn't have hurt

but now you won't even speak (to me)

and maybe you're quite right

some of my work is pretty cringe

but what were you expecting

i came here from the fringe

where everything isn't as ordered

or as nice as you want it to be

but you've got your liberal blinkers on

there's so much you don’t see

sorry but i didn’t come here

to play either nice or clean

yes i meant to be provocative

there’s a chance it would be obscene

did you ever stop and maybe think

a complete one eighty from what you see

and that what you perceive to be brilliant

might just be a lump of shit to me

but you just want to take the edges off

you want a safe spot in every single hall

the loony bin’s the only place around here

that’s got padding on every wall
