You look back at a life of forgotten dreams and empty promises.
You wanted to be a doctor, a fireman, an astronaut, and an artist.
All at the same time.

You wanted to fall in love with Prince Charming,
Handsome, intelligent, strong, courageous, loyal.
Perfect in every way.

You wanted to have four beautiful children,
Two girls, two boys, obedient and kind, who love you,
As much as you love them.

Instead, you wait tables for meager tips,
You divorced your husband,
And your children hate you.

You cry for dreams you never worked for.
You cry for a man you didn't deserve.
You cry for children you didn't love.

Life will never be what you want it to be.
Get over it.
