maybe if i was older
maybe if i knew him more
maybe if i wasn't so naïve
maybe if i was better
or smarter
or prettier
maybe if i had more talent
or if i was his type
what if i was older
what if life wasn't shit
would there be any point?
is that a life i would fit?
maybe if i'd told him
maybe i wouldn't feel this way
but why
am i disappointed?
jealous?
plain sad?
fuck feelings
i can't understand them
i hate this feeling
like my insides are twisting every which way
like everything is shattering
but i don't get why
i don't get what
maybe if i was older
maybe if i was older,
maybe if i was older, i'd know
maybe if i was older, i'd have a chance
but if i was older
if i was older,
i wouldn't want to be older
maybe
what if
there'd be no such thing
this shit's so complicated
but hey i guess that's what life is
complications
maybe just maybe
but then
who knows?
