Cherry Picking
Wow.
No wonder you went for her instead of me.
I mean, god, I would do the same.
Look at her. She’s everything anyone could ever want in a girl.
And then look at me.
Or maybe don’t.
You don’t want to look at me.
I’m a horror to be seen with.
I’m a horror to be seen.
Except I don’t want to tell you this.
Because you’ll only try to reassure me with lies.
Lies on lies on lies on lies.
WHEN WILL THEY STOP?
Oh god, make them stop.
I know you’re lying.
I know it’s a ruse to make me feel like I am a decent person.
A decent looking person.
A decent sized person.
A decent acting person.
Do I have a decent personality?
Wait. Actually don’t answer that.
You’re going to tell me a lie.
Huh. Come to think of it.
I wouldn’t pick me either.
Imagine being with someone this sickly?
This annoying?
Someone who will never shut up?
Isn’t it funny how even I wouldn’t ever choose myself?
I don't blame you for cherry picking.
I would do the exact same.
But while you’re at it,
would you mind just tossing me into the trash?
So that I won’t have to watch people cherry pick around me?
That would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sorry.
