Greetings dear citizens of Steemlandia! Here is my entry for this week's Steemit Talent Contest, a song called This Synthetic World:

This Synthetic World

Oh this synthetic world
All the beautiful boys all the beautiful girls
In cages of bone and skin
Dying for a living

they take you break you make you feel brand new
Better than beofre
All you robot boys you complicated toys
This is war

When they say fake it til you make it
But you want to be want to be want to be real
Be real
If they say fake it til you make it
Give them something
Something they can feel

Oh so many drugs to choose from
Too many devices to be used
Flat lines spikes fine tune it just right
And you won't mind being battered and bruised

When they break you make you feel brand new
Better than beofre
All you cyborg girls just giving it a whirl
This is war

When they say fake it til you make it
But you want to be want to be want to be real
Be real
If they say fake it til you make it
Give them something
Something they can feel

I fell in love with a picture of you
Don't know if anything about it could be true
But whoever's living behind those pretty eyes
I hope she doesn't mind me trying to see through her disguise

When they say fake it til you make it
But you want to be want to be want to be real
Be real
If they say fake it til you make it
Give them something
Something they can feel

Well ... that was awesome. Really loved the sound and the lyrics were fabulous. The bridge was genius. A little commentary ... none of us are real in the sense that we are not constant. Indeed give the feeling you want returned. You are certainly not short on talent. Bravo.

A bit of a typo in second stanza;)

:D no of course not! Each of us is a work in progress... nothing is static and the idea that anything is or can be pinned down is lethal to both clear thought and deep feeling. By "be real" I meant "be true to yourself".

Thank you SO much for your encouraging comments! Music is really what I came to Steemit to do, and then (unexpectedly) I fell in love with the poetry and prose community, and then, once again, with the process of writing (in that order lol). So this comment means a lot to me. Thank you Pryde :)
