We continue
To live in a sexist world

It does not matter
What any college,  scholarship commitee, or employer says

They are
Always trying to
Improve the ratio
To make it seem
More appealing

But really
We are being
Discriminated against
And cheated
Out of various positions

It shouldn't matter
If I am a male or female
As long as I have
The qualifications
To do my job

I am tired
Of this oppression

I am capable of
Everything and anything
As long as I
Put my heart into it

My relationship is
Slowly falling apart
No matter how hard I try
Things never turn out right

They tend to crumble
Then fall

I can’t keep doing this
I keep telling myself
That I am fine

But in reality I’m just
Getting by
One step
At a time

I don’t regret
My decisions
I just want things
To change

But they just haven’t
And he has known
That it has bothered me
For this long

But I am trying
To remain strong

Not going to let this lobe
Just slip away
I am not going to watch
Him walk away

Things happen
In mysterious ways
Like what had happened
Just earlier today

When listening to
The Stickers
Live
And upbeat

I felt this
Muse
That made me
Complete

It has been a long time
My dear friends
But I still have some things
That have to be said

Shout out
To the lead singer named Joe
Who said follow your dreams
Because anything is possible
As long as you believe

a guy
I thought, I knew
but it turned out-
that I never had a clue

thought that we
could stitch up
the broken pieces
but who was I kidding?

glad we
moved on
you were-
the reason
things went so wrong

and

it was time for you-
to get gone

I don't need
anyone
but I want
you

you make me
complete
you are- my missing
puzzle piece

I know that I've made
many mistakes
and it makes-
my heart break

but
thank you
for being here
along the way

we will strive
together
I'll always be
by your side

please never leave
my life
I never want
to say good-bye

I know my
insecurities
often get in
the way

but I know
how much
I mean
to you

I know
our love
is true

and I don't
care
what any one else
THINKS

you're the
best thing
that's ever
happened to me

I was the one
That had your back all of these years
But something snapped inside
I was tired of all the lies

How you'd-
Be with me
Come to me
But

All the excuses
You made
Not to be in my corner
When I needed you the most....

And now I-
let you go
Because it's whats best for you
It's whats best for me

After all the girls-
After all the guys-
I ended up
Right back at your side

But I guess
This is-
what's best

Because
All the excuses
You made
Were just
Getting in the way

Of what is-
Best for you
What is best for me
