better
September 17, 1998
I had all of the other useless dronings and the high school proms
I’ve always thought I was good enough
then someone would remind me that I might be wrong
because someone else would always come along and cover me
with their better hair, their better clothes, their pulitzer prizes
Wow
I must really need all that stuff those people have
i must want that
some people always had the better cars
with the nice red stripe down the side
or maybe better shoes or better clothes or a better date
doesn’t it just suck how people can be the biggest jerks in their
day to day life to people they don’t even know
isn’t it funny how these people are invariably the ones
who have the money from the parents or they marry people with money
and their life is spent in this plush heaven
And then there’s you or me, someone who has always tried to do well
and they never have enough money or the right clothes
or the wrong kind of car
I guess some people just have a run of bad luck
