Do I Still

it is so easy to be filled with spite
it is so easy to hold grudges
and if your memory isn’t shot to Hell
it is so easy to remember the details

it’s funny to think about how you convolute the world
how your brain’s preceptions
are different from everyone else’s

i swear to god, woman
i didn’t want to go to princeton
and i don’t remember wanting to apply

and you swore i wanted that
to show i was smart
to show i was good

and i swear to god i’m not that materialistic
i swear

did i want to show everyone
that being smart was easy for me
did i want to show everyone
that i was better than everyone else
did i want to prove it all
without putting the work in

do i still
