Ha!

Laugh at me
Please

Hate me
Please

Maybe then I’ll learn
Maybe then I’ll change
Cause right now:

I’m so fake

As fake as America’s
“Lovey dovey”
Big, caring brother politics

Why didn’t you all tell me
Before?

Or maybe you don’t think it yet?
Yeah that might be it

I can see it on
Your faces
I can hear it in
Your words and
Your voices

You all think I’m
Something,
I’m not.

You all buy my exaggerations,
My down played traits,
(My attempts at hiding
What I don’t want you to see)
And even when you don’t
You miss what I am

Why are you throwing to third?
I’m just reaching first!

Can’t you see the
Contradictions?
Oh there’s so many.
Can’t you see the
Unexplained?
Maybe it’s not obvious

Laugh at me
Please
Hate me
Please
Call me fake
Please

Cause I’m not what you see
And I’m not trying to be me
(Me just ain’t cool enough, see)
Doesn’t that make me a poser?
Shouldn’t you be *******?
(That’s how they say it should be)

This is as much about you
As it is about me.
