Maybe someday
someone will waltz along
and teach my heart
it's not okay
to give joyrides
to average people
who will make me feel insubstantial
someday for someone that will cherish me
for more than the skin that covers my bones
but who can kiss me on the head
not because it's pretty
but because of all, it contains
Maybe I'll stop overcompensating
for people who don't deserve any piece of me
I'll be honest with myself
and not desperate for any form of pleasure
