Why can't I just Go along with the system? Why can't I just "be happy" Why am I so poor? Why do I insist on working A 20 hour work week at most Why am I lazy? Why do I drive around just To people watch? Why do I ********** in my room? Why is life A lonely And miserable affair? Why did my therapist Who I enjoyed talking to Leave me? Why do I look the way I do? Why have I listened to thousands And thousands of hours Of documentaries And podcasts? Why does America Keep ******** things up Across the globe? America didn't do Anything When Sadaam Was using it's chemical weapons Against our enemy Iran In the Iran-Iraq war And I'm always Out of position The librarian puts The books On the shelves And answers the phone I sit here and type And make nothing And why have I chosen The life I lead? I just have I just have! And I want to hug someone To love someone But no one No one is there And everyone is on Their phone And nobody cares And this country Is hated by millions Across the globe And I wanted to travel So many places To Kashmir To see beautiful faces Where a war is fought over land I used to use my left Now I use my right hand To correct the slight body Imbalance you see Self pleasure is not Good for me North Korea Prepares it's nukes What are they for? To destroy our nation And settle the score And the world is not stable And I am not able Not able to make One female friend And I told the therapist This is what I wanted Again, and again But it's a world That doesn't care No constellation prize No "there there" Just desperate Hungry glares And my family Is not at all prepared To face what may come I'm afraid it may not Be much fun I love you ladies Wherever you are Whether near or far Heavenly ladies Provide caring hugs All I would like Is just to feel loved By another human being Caring women In my eternal dreams
