Lifestyles of a Bitch & the Shameless

I'm losing more sleep over your lives

Than I am mine

& how is that possible?

With your rich parents & nice houses 

& phenomenal educations & expensive cars 

& varsity sports & shitty personalities

& iPhones in your hands & Beats on your heads 

& MacBooks at your disposal & flatscreens in your living rooms 

& ignorant parents & fake IDs

& perfect SAT scores

& 5's on all of your AP exams

& your full-rides to fan-fucking-tastic Ivy League schools.

So tell me,

Why does it feel better to lose sleep over your lives,

Than it is mine?
