How to be: Someone Like Me

Stress constantly,

Never stop,

Be afraid of failure,

Try to get to the top.

Study constantly,

Fail the test.

Procrastinate now,

Give it a rest.

Let the sadness overcome you,

Don’t brush your hair.

They already dislike you,

Who cares if they stare.

Stay home on the weekends,

Mourning over the past.

Be there for others,

Say you’re okay when they ask.

Make jokes about your failing relationship with your mother

Let it consume you when the night falls.

Worry that you’ll turn out to be the mother she was to you.

You won’t have children then, not at all.

You need to leave,

Let your soul be gone,

Forgive others,

For what’s been done is done.

In your life,

When given the choice, people always choose flight.

The constant betrayal is around every corner,

You’ve got to let in the light.

Involve yourself in everything,

The weekdays you’re never alone

Keep packed your schedule,

To sad attacks you’re prone.

Always say the right thing,

Never complain,

Real friends are rare,

Don’t scare them away.

Frustration is consistent,

Nothing you’re not used to

For the friend who is always there for others,

Is going through it too.

The ringer is long and painful,

The nights are cold and hard,

The days come fast enough,

But yesterday always leaves its scars.

“Ignorance is bliss”

A motto you know too well,

You hide it all inside,

They’ll never be able to tell.

Smile constantly and

Give them a show,

For you are an actress,

And the world will never know.
