This stupid little fantasy
Had wrecked my mind
And ruined me.
You crushed my ego
And filled my head
With little pink and purple hearts.
And thanks to you
I fell apart.
You useless stupid big fat jerk.
I tried so hard
I risked my neck
But still you stepped on everything
Dug it into the ground.
So you, Mister, are no king
Contrary to your belief.
So leave me be,
Please leave me be,
And maybe, baby,
I'll get some sleep.

The author's comments:
It took me a very long time to write this one, because i knew I needed to get the words just right to get my point across perfectly. To those of you who feel like you're just never going to find the right words, push through it, because one day, when you read it again, it will feel even better knowing that you stuck with it.
