Eccentric ideas
Every investor is looking out
For the next great thing

You look at me with contempt in your eyes
You hate me, but there is no reason why
I make you feel uncomfortable, because you cannot figure me out
I’m not like you and this makes you want to shout
You’re angry, because this is the only weapon that you have
I’m nothing but a mirror, that displays your fear, of the unknown
All I ask is that you leave me alone
