I aim to please But I feel I won't succeed I want to win this war Deep within my core This is my fear at unease As I try to please This is what I want you to hear I tell myself not to surrender I feel like this is pure failure Inefficiency in this adventure I don't write this just for the trend I write this only to pretend That with these words I shall be on the mend I feel so overwhelmingly selfish ungrateful and these actions against myself so shameful As I pull and I tug at these sleeves know that I am not harmed So please, please don't be alarmed For I am selfish and ungrateful and just your average stereotypical Self couscous girl girl that is ever so cynical Who writes to hide her world I will deny That its all one big lie and no one, no one will ever know So take this shovel and bury this deep, deep down below
