Like

I'm Like I bet you thought that was an incomplete sentence But what I really mean is I am Like Huh… like Mike? Not quite, like Like See, if my name were Like Then there's probably only one person in the universe I share names with; Nasir Jones My name is Like Hi Like Sometimes I'm combative Other times I am affectionate Sometimes I am competitive, comparative I just wanna be you or maybe just like you But you see, you and I are not the same I refuse to let my life be determined by a collection of likes I mean, how many more likes do you have to get For you to like yourself just a little, goddamn it I am unlike you Because I know what I'm like And I like myself regardless You are a rambling teenage girl Using me as a filler word to score cool points You go, "I'm like, they be like, she be like, it's like" Just shut up, you incoherent degenerate There is certainly a disparity Between the likes of you and the likes of me See, we are like identical twins We share like DNA but we are nothing alike You avoid conflict, I like to respond in like manner You used to have my back until we fell apart And now I feel like every time you say my name You say it with an unconscious tick And just like that, you've turned me into a scornful paradigm Cause every time the Grannies hear my name They just shake their heads in contempt For the meaninglessness I have become And it's all your fault Why do you enjoy my torture so much Every time you stab me with your steel spiky nails My heart bleeds and pours out all over your device I am your dopamine hit I have emptied the contents of my heart And you still don't feel liked enough I am here to tell you There is a difference between like and obsession And I don't particularly get jiggy with the latter
