The Struggle (Is Real)
May 20, 2014
My coffee’s too hot,
My boyfriend is not
The store has a crowd
My music is loud
My scarf is too tight,
My shoes are not right
Headache from too much fun
My eyes hurt from the sun
My iPhone got a crack
The wind blew on my back
My makeup got a smear
My car’s in the wrong gear
My laptop is old
My green tea is cold
My clothes don’t all match
My boots sometimes catch
The struggle is here, and very real
My life has absolutely no appeal
