Sorrowful and woebegone is your life
When you take a good look
Checking in and out of relationships
Like a dog-eared library book
As a stroke on a keyboard
Searching all the profiles
Life’s offerings in a database
Bringing on the fake smiles
Following one another like lemmings
With no fear of stepping off the ledge
Not even considering the consequences
Balancing your life on the edge
A leap of faith into the unknown
Do you have the stomach for it
A resumé of lies churning out the match
Maybe today is the day when something will fit
Be another lamb on its way
Blindly to the slaughter
Maybe this time you’ll get chosen
Another chance, another day, no time to falter
Secretly scorn those successful
For they create the legend
You are destined to follow them
On your journey to transcend
