Writing, I want to be Tori Amos;
Her words an astounding masterpiece

I want to channel the power of Muse
Become a speaker of truth and travesty

I want to tug heartstrings –
like broken up Keane
Or elicit the anger of Linkin Park

I’ll be as dark as Breaking Benjamin
Or mimic Depeche Mode’s sultry essence

Emulate Amy Lee’s Gothic prose
Or the relatability of Adele’s love lost

Be a badass rapper like Ice Cube or Dre
Or employ the randomness of Drake

Be the female version of Eminem
Or have the burning fire of Pink

But maybe I’ll just be myself

And continue the way I think and speak
