Impression

Haven't you heard the news?

Front page, fresh off the press,

"New kids a trip, and he only just started!"

It seems

First impressions can lead to a lifetime

Of misconception...

I won't correct it,

I'll only get played out to the

Conviction

They already

Accepted.

That NOT me.

Well maybe...

Technically an altered version

Caught

In the moment,

Yet

Unseen to the human eye.

I'm an urbanite who is shy.

So why try?

To convince the eyes

Of a stranger,

Creatures

Judging the

Misdemeanor

That is my arrival,

To peer inside my mind?

MINE!

A completely different entity

Compared to those from this

Countryside,

Who are used to each other's

Mask of smiles.

Covering their ignorance

Of an immigrant

From the same country...

Concentrate now,

Here come the whispers again.

A system pre-programmed

To move their mouths,

To what leaks out.

My own business,

Though I wasn't aware that I

Hired them

To spread the word about it.

Your speech is not incorporated.

But go ahead...

Say it!

Who am I to stop you!?

You don't even know me so your words are not

Proof.

...At least not to me...

Guess I will seat

Myself in the back of the sea

Of eyes

To no surprise it's my direction they beam

Pretending I've piqued your curiosity

But your intentions are mean.

Do your worst...

'Cuz it really doesn't matter to me

Four more years in this piece

And I'm out of the penitentiary

Of your words.
