(I)mpress and E(x)press
I will write to express—
About how is it hard to impress.
Whenever I commit mistake,
People don't see the good things I make.
Why do we live to impress other people?
Why can't we make our lives simple?
I just wanted to be myself, to express my thought—
But when I do wrongs the good come to naught.
