«Much Better, Isn’t It?
I’m far too busy to hear religious lies,
Licking pork from plates while charity’s on the line.
He draws his prayers in a white, thin line—
And I run my life while you chase the divine.
I see the void without a magnified view,
You really thought dreams get stitched and that’s truth?
Oh my God—you’re just another part
Of a system run by hollow hearts.
Another puppet, born and bred,
No better than a thousand dead.
No, I don’t pray—
You heard me right.
I drink, I dance on tabletops at night.
I live out loud, in honest light.

I help the broken, feel what’s fresh.
I give, I feel, I don’t confess.
I’m right where I was meant to be—
Painting smiles,
Setting hearts free.
I don’t judge their taste or song—
I cook their meals,
I play along.

"Well written piece. People will always judge those who live free, but don't realize it's that very freedom that allows them to love without condition, to feel deeper than just the surface of empathy." - November 2025
