If I make a lot of tinsel
then people will want to
If I am hardened
no fear of further abandonment
If I am famous
then maybe I'll feel good
in this skin and
If I am cultured
my words will somehow
garner respect and
I would throw a party
still it would not come
I would bike run swim
and still it would not come
I'd go traveling
and still it would not come
I would starve myself
and still it would not come
If I'm masculine
I will be taken more seriously
If I take a break
it would make me irresponsible and
If I'm elusive
I will surely be sought after often
If I need assistance
then I must be incapable
I'd be filthy rich
and still it would not come
I would seduce them
and still it would not come
I would drink vodka
and still it would not come
I'd have an orgasm
still it would not come
If I accumulate knowledge
I'll be impenetrable
If I am aloof
no one will know
when they strike a nerve
If I keep my mouth shut
the boat will not have
to be rocked
If I am vulnerable
I will be trampled upon and
I would go shopping
and still it would not come
I'd leave the country
and still it would not come
I would scream and rebel
still it would not come
I would stuff my face
and still it would not come
I'd be productive
and still it would not come
I'd be celebrated
still it would not come
I'd be the hero
and still it would not come
I'd renunciate
and still it would not come
