He smiles,
He talks,
He tells you his problems
While you tell yours,
He tells you sweet things
And stays up till 3am with you
But to fall for him
Is to fall from the sky
Because alas
He does the same
To other girls,
It's just a game
And it's certainly not fun
Because at the end
One's heart will be broken
And it will certainly not be his

Fate is so cruel
Took you before I realized
That I meant I love you more than as a friend
But I guess that's okay,
Because now you're on the other side
So please watch over me
While I live a life for both of us

Learning is important
Because the more you know,
The smarter you are
But how am I supposed to enjoy
If I go to bed at 4 am
Finishing an essay, but get a C
They only grade what's on the paper
But never your hard work
Society never sees beyond
Your grades and your status,
It was never about us;
We're depressed and stressed out
But I guess it's okay
Because all that matters
Is I got an A on a test

You tell them "you're worthy to live"
But you spend the rest of the day
Counting your breaths thinking
You don't deserve it
And waiting for your last breath

You say "everyone's beautiful"
Yet you look at the mirror
And call yourself a monster

You tell those who are heartbroken
"You deserve better"
Yet you waste your time
Loving someone who doesn't even appreciate you

You tell them "Always love yourself"
But you picked all your flaws like dead flowers
And you despised each and everything about you

Why is it easy for you to say such good things and mean it,
But you can never see the beauty inside of you?

You used to be my sun, moon and stars
I felt like my world revolves around you,
But not anymore
You're simply just another person
Who I met and broke my heart

Nicotine and broken dreams
Lungs filled with nothing but smoke
While drowning in alcohol
Cuz darling, death is a friend of mine
And I've got nothing to fight for anymore
I'm lost in this labyrinth
Another night with you is all I ask
But I don't have the money,
Will a pack of cigarettes be enough for another night?
I'm still editing this, nonetheless I still wanted to share this.

Maybe a hundred years from now
No one would remember
Who Cleopatra was
Or who was the first person to walk on the moon
And certainly
No one would remember
An insignificant being
Like *me
