I'm an Artist - Imani Coppola

I’m an artist

That’s what I do

You’ll know my business and my point of view

Don’t even ask how I’m doing, cuz I’ll tell you anyway

I shine my triumphs and my failures, put them curves on display

Just say and listen, dude

Don’t advise, don’t react

I have a personal obligation to be precise and exact

Communicating each conflicting emotion in depth

Articulating between sips and drags 'til I am out of breath

Then I’ll get my diary and read you pages at random

Talk you through my childhood and my issues with abandon

I’ll tell you about the date rape, and that time I was abducted

But please turn off your cellphone because it’s so fucking disruptive

Some may call me self-absorbed

Some may call me narcissist

I just summarize by simply- shut the fuck up

I’m self-indulgent

I’m as flaky as can be

Hey, wanna come to a party?

Cool, have fun — without me

I aim to be disparaging

I claim to be the best

I’m a walking contradiction

I am cursed, and I am blessed

I have verbal diarrhea

I have mental constipation

I am addicted to many things

I have an oral fixation

I am insecure

I am over confident

I claim to have no ego

I don’t- shut the fuck up

I’m on top of the world

I wanna fucking kill myself

Oh my god, I’m so amazing

Holy shit, I fucking suck

I don’t know, I’ve been really depressed

I just feel so positive lately

I- the fuck up

Some may call me self-absorbed

Some may call me narcissist

I just summarize by simply stating I’m an artist

Some may call me self-absorbed

Some may call me narcissist

I just summarize by simply- shut the fuck up
