Undeserving c.i.



Natural beauty, cutie, what is your name?
For some it's a gift, for you - just a game...
Dismissive, your eyes are shattering hearts!
This contest is rigged, so why deal the cards?

Magazine covers adore your expression,
Male tension! Try it, walk into the room!
Pathetic, this nonsense - songs under the moon!
Hardly enough to be paying attention...

Serious questions:

When did you loose the side that was human?
When did you choose the life of supreme?
Was it the compliments, flowers, obsession?
Why did reality merge with a dream?

That guy in the corner, the "'L'00ser", nice try!
True love of your life, but hey... nothing special!
Played with the fire, his honesty - fried
Heart-tearing 'no', his confidence - died!
His chances...still sleep in your hands...
But you do not share, forget the amends
It's but a laughter with friends, but not more
Another example that's feeding your score

Shame, expense of a man, who simply tried asking your name...

This... beauty of yours. It's a curse, a limiting factor
Regular folks appear to be actors, it's tragic!
When one is SO blind to the magic!
To happiness - that's one of a kind...

You're lazy in heart, dormant in soul, frozen in mind...

p.s.
do realize - just as there are stars in the skies
there is always...
someone...
better...
than you!
