how dare you kick me out of MY comfort zone? maybe this is what they think of me.

i mean, i thought i knew her.
she was so sweet and polite
rather witty yet quiet
calm cool collected
like a roll of quarters
everyone loves quarters

now obscenities like pocket lint
are catching in my fingers
as i try to grasp this changing concept
of personality
not obscenities like swears
but cynical and bitter phrases
that leave one half laughing to themselves
and half shudd'ring

what happened to the petty talk, girl?
what happened to your lack of substance?
i liked you so much better
when your pretty mouth was closed.

it was false advertizing
your masquerading as the norm
this isn't what i bargained for
but i suppose you have your worth
and it was fun while it lasted

i'll cash you in at a local teller
and get the mediocracy i desire
folded bills
and a cheap smile from the lady behind the counter...
