Three weeks ago you were saying "you're so amazing, I can't wait to be your boyfriend"
After our first date you said "I think we should wait to be in an actual relationship, get to know each other better"
But all you've gotten to know about me is my body
Will you ever ******* want me?
Why am I not good enough for love?

When I think of you,
It's different for awhile
It's crazy, I know
but all I do is smile.

You don't mean to,
I'm sure I'm overthinking.
How could someone like you,
Even think of sinking?

Sinking to the level of me,
The human I've become.
Yet apparently I am the one
who makes your heart drum.
My roommate doesn't know this,
But every Thursday night when she leaves for class,
I cradle myself into this ball of depression.
I think how much of a failure I am.
I think about how worthless I have been feeling lately.
It's like no matter how much I try, I always end up messing up.
I feel exhausted.
It makes me think back to junior year, when I wanted nothing more than to suffocate my emotions under decorated pillows.

Living in a world where anything flies,
Growing up, we all aim to desensitize
Getting used to murderous lies
No longer do we hold true to family ties.

Where has all the love gone?
"Where have all the flowers gone?"

Love is lost, if ever it was at all
Through it all we must grow strong and tall
BE the change you wish to see,
Show the world what a human should be.

Bring back the light, the love, the joy.

Find a lead on the peace and the compassion,
Search out the unique and the exception,
Trust, respect, and common sense seem to be for ration.
Young and old, participate in the deception.

I am the wolf of Wall Street
I am a woman  
My empire, my rules
You invested your heart
And I brokered it for another
