If only

December 8, 2014

If only
I was a romantic
a confident
an academic
human being

Then maybe
I'd be more content
with this life given

If only
I hadn't learned how s*** life was
so early on
I could've just been another idiotic teenager
unwilling to except the consequences of my actions

Instead I sit here contemplating what probably should have done
and craving love
and craving affection
why do I fall in love with every girl i meet?

If only
I didn't alter my personality
For every person I've met
thanks maybe I could finally be myself
whoever the hell that is
