Why, Oh Why, Oh Why?

Delusionally, You Think Too Much Of Yourself

You think you're the freshest peach picked from the tree

but low hanging, my dear, doesn't count

There may be things I don't like about me

but you're rottener inside than out

You claim to be loving, and trying your best

but from here all that's seen is a fraud

You may be younger, but come on, give it a rest

sell that story when you talk to god

I don't want what you have, you can keep all that drama

it's over, let's call it a wash

I'll hold my tongue; you stay lost in nirvana

better luck next time dating your boss

slam poetry
