To be one of the hedonic corpus
A looming figure for my make up
Searching oh so endlessly for love
To give me warmth I don't deserve
Oh I would do anything at all
To be like everybody else
But their sociopathic tendencies
I just don't have within me
I try to be
everything you want me to be
why won’t you be my friend?
Does every shadow that you cast
Make you feel like someone else’s ghost
Or does the violence you inflict
Make everything easier for you
You spend so much time looking at yourself
and you don't even cry
what about the voices in your head
Are they even as loud as mine?
Why don’t you love me?
Why won’t you accept me?
Why won’t you be my friend?
You’re just so perfect.
I want to be you.
