Millennial Girl

Once in a while I wish I could run a mile away
 Far from attachments
 They have only brought me tears and pain
 Yet no advancement
 So I strive, I strive, I strive
 For perfection every time
 But see no purpose
 And I buy, I buy, I buy
 Hip, cool stuff I see online
 To scratch the surface
 Once in a while I wish I could say "I slay"
 Like on the TV
 But then I don't know what does that even mean
 New slang is silly
 They say if my hair I braid I will look "on fleek"
 I say ok
 They say if I lose 50 pounds, I will look pretty
 For my "bae"
 But I feel so empty
 My heart is skipping beats
 My family and friends
 Say I live on the edge
 So I strive, I strive, I strive
 For perfection every time
 But see no purpose
 And I buy, I buy, I buy
 Hip, cool stuff I see online
 To scratch the surface
