dior perfume and

versace dress

with chanel earrings

louis vuitton bag

sparkly gucci shoes

and hermès scarves

bottega veneta shirt

armani tie

bvlgari watches

bracelet from prada

YSL makeup palette

burberry backpack

but what use is all this

when it means nothing?

i’m telling a story

but nobody cares

i’m sharing some tales

but nobody listens

losing car keys and

forgetting names

can’t slow down or

i’ll get confused

stuck in the past

never did grow up

look and act the same

i can’t change

but why do i do this

when it won’t make a difference?

don’t know where

i left my designer

headband or rings

can’t find my light

get a slap on the wrist

and a scolding to my ear

a kick in the shin

and a harsh chastise

never doing anything right

unable to walk straight

can’t even talk correctly

either too heavy or too light

why can’t i be perfect

like all the girls i see?

i tried

and tried

but was always…

irresponsible.
