50% Kinder

Be 50 % kinder with yourself, you say
But let me ask you, if I may
Why am I not finding love
like all the fairy tales say?
All I want is to smile
Instead of bending over
begging for all to stay
I'm keeping it all inside
While I fall by the wayside
Why do I need a constant reminder
That all they want is a bit of ecstasy
And I can only be a secret fantasy?
So you say, be 50% kinder
But I'm standing here
Motionless, irregardless,
Sipping the last glass of
this Summer pink lemonade
Feeling my heart explode like
a rocket propelled grenade
But OK, as you say,
I'll be 50% kinder with myself today
