Just Because
My maturity level tells me
you can’t make someone love you,
the most you can do is stalk them
and hope they’ll start thinking of you.
It takes years to build up trust
and just suspicion to destroy it,
I know depression’s anger without enthusiasm
that’s why I don’t enjoy it.
Don’t compare yourself to others
they’re more screwed up than you think,
age is a high price to pay for maturity
and it can drive people to drink.
Take a second look at people
who complain when their life is soft,
pay no attention to what you wear
for it’s all how you take it off.
None of this makes sense at all
but in many ways it does,
just say you read this for whatever reason
and I wrote it, just because.
