The Neverending Search Party for Love
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 12 years.
In this day and age, online is the way to go
For everything from shopping to finding a relationship
According to the internet dating commercials
Your future soulmate is only a mouse click away
Hard to believe when many are still searching for the one
Many preferred to be paired with their better half
Or any half for that matter when time starts to run out
While everyone is left to their own devices
Wondering why fate dealt them another cruel blow
A slap in the face for feminists and regular ladies alike
Would rather prepare for another extended solo performance
Instead of going to another dead end date from hell
Fed up with putting on airs for people that aren't worth it
Not even for Andy Warhol's infamous fifteen minutes
Or in the very least some minuscule 15 seconds of relevance
Dates only seem to be about suitors promoting their own hype
An unwanted job interview of sorts where money shouldn't be exchanged
An indecent proposal that would make cops get out their handcuffs
Even more fed up of others just looking to stir things up
Troublemakers looking to toss anyone in front of a Greyhound bus
To get to the top of the corporate ladder for just a few bucks in the bank
Finally starting to understand what Annie and Jay-Z
Both sang and rapped about having a hard knock life
Of course, in very differing degrees of difficulty
Except that rainbows and puppy dogs were never part of the deal
Only Dorothy got to the end of the rainbow
Found her way home to Kansas
Reality usually doesn't have such a clear cut Hollywood ending
Many just go through day-to-day trying to not pull their hair out
Keeping just a minimum of sanity to their name
And avoid at all costs appearing as the star of the show
An episode of Dateline as the main villain
Only goal to live by when everything else was so far away
Better to start somewhere than nowhere at all
Now, that's depressing indeed.
