Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie

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
 if I am cultured my words will somehow garner respect
 i would throw a party still it would not come
 i would bike run swim and still it would not come
 i’d go travelling 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
 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 wouldn’t come
 if I accumulate knowledge
 I’ll be inpenetrable
 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
 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
