Pure Intentions

Reality is so overrated  
And the truth is sometimes  
Too hard to be stated.  
 
Nobody care about the rhymes  
As long as you got nothing but  
Quarters and dimes  
 
In your pockets. The rut  
That you are in does not matter  
To others because although your gut  
 
Says to trust them you cannot let them splatter  
Your empty canvas. They will  
Do nothing but destroy and shatter  
 
Your happiness. They will fill  
You up and then pour you  
Out until the thrill  
 
Is completely gone. Your true  
Colors will shine brighter  
And better. They see that you already grew.
