Drama Queen

Not a cry for help

Because simply asking never works

I coarse against the grain of my emotions

I ****** the idea of being better

However

Like most love affairs

I become petty with redemption

And trite with my promises

It's hard to keep them

When I never meant them

I may have marked you and others as mine

But that's all

A mark is not a leash

And I've allowed you all to walk away

With a smile and a wave

But a little piece of your mind

Still whispers my name

You see

I'm riddled with remorse

So humbled by experience

That the habits of mistakes

Engrained into my person

Is simply a game

Of who can fix me

Who can reach me

Who can get into my pants

Who can make me want them

I've become quite vain with these notions

That I have to be wary of my reflection

And my facade of a good name

I'm a lady after all

Choosing no one and nothing

Clutching a semblance of my own worth

While trying not to offend yours

Girls will be girls

Like a homosexual

I was born this way

If I had the choice within my control

I would not choose reality

Making myself a fantasy

Is cruel enough

But they'd rather live a lie

Than see the disgust in my eyes

We could push our tongues together

As if they were in a fight

But the friction of flesh

Doesn't always a spark ignite

So I'm not pleading for empathy

For I hardly feel for you

I feel the same

Just without refrain

And when you're gone

I'll wave and smile to you
