Vanity or Nature
I an independent woman,
Not bound by society,
I date who I want to date
And see who I want to see
My friends, they have these problems
That I just can't get straight,
I'll tell you just a recent one
That happened as of late,
She went out to a party,
And went home with this guy,
They talked and slept and left
Now that's surely not a date,
The next day she comes crying
"Why hasn't he texted me?"
I say this straight into her face
"What did you want this to be?"
Now she seems to understand
That hookups are not true
Either you end up using them
Or they end up using you,
Now I date who I want,
There's no shame in such,
So why do I feel empty
When the nights are full of lust?
Is it so wrong for me to wonder,
Why my phone isn't busy?
Yet the thought that I might need someone
Just puts me in a tizzy,
I'm no better than the others,
In fact I think I'm worse,
Cause I hide the truth with pretty words,
Yes, vanitys a curse
What if I'm not good enough
To be a one and only?
I'll be as independent as I can,
But I won't lie, I'm lonely.
