why
why
why
why am i so alone
why can't i find anyone
when everyone around me is so happy
so happy with their one
heck, one of friends is getting married
she's barely eighteen
married
meanwhile, i have no one
oh, i've tried
apparently i'm not desperate enough
apparently i don't have low enough standards
apparently i'm ugly
or fat
or whatever the cool kids are calling it these days
clearly no one likes me
it's obvious
look at the way they look at me
full of masked sympathy
it makes me sick
i hate it when they aren't honest
i get it, i'm domineering
but be a little bit self-confident, will you?
i hate that too
when people hate themselves
and they have nothing to hate themselves for
they're perfect
and i'm not
i'm no where near perfect
look at my virgin lips
clearly there is something missing
maybe people think i'm unstable
or think i'm strange
or over-exuberant
or overly happy
or something dumb
i hate when people judge others for something they can't control
i hate it when people judge themselves
i hate myself
... but i don't hate her
or him or her or her or him or her
i don't hate any of them
but they don't like me
why?
i'm so nice
i'm so kind
i'm so positive
so optimistic
so caring
am i not what people want in a lover?
am i not up to your standards?
do i have to make it casual?
is that what it is?
afraid of commitment?
i see
i get it
no i don't
but i'll pretend i do
i love her
and him and her and her and him and her
but mostly her
she's so polite
