The Present Pt. 2

“Facing Reality”

Yes I've done it, I've graduated from college
But when dealing with women it all seems like useless knowledge

People say I'm successful, they say I'm going far
But lately it seems that I'm not even making par

It's like a spell, or a curse
In which I'm fully immersed

I see the accomplishment, but not the reward
I put in the hard effort, but I still get ignored

I'm alive in the books, but dying in my soul
I'm really not sure how much longer I can hold
Hold on to my being without making a change
Into the very man about which women complain

I've long stood my ground, I've put up a good fight
But I guess I'll have to face it, I'm just not their type

Praises and compliments I hear them all the time
But they never seem to make sense in the back of my mind

"Your wife will be happy, she's going to have a lot of fun"
But all I can think to myself is "Why won't you be the one?"
I hear what you're saying
But I can't put it together
"Why won't you be my wife, if things will be so much better?"

I've only met a few men in my entire life
Who graduated from college and now have a beautiful wife.
