I seem stuck in a restricted area
Where originality is confined
Withheld to the influential few
Handed out in carefully measured quantities
I want to find a place where it’s ok to be ugly
Where lies are the social norm
A utopia that allows for direct rudeness
A land of complete and utter honesty
I want to relocate to a place of perpetual aggression
A kingdom where risks are required
Show me where lusts line the street
Within easy grasp of passersby
May I enter that place where creativity is accepted?
Am I permitted within the boundary of uncriticized art?
Such a place must exist somewhere
It seems superior to where I am
