You're made
You're born
You learn to walk
You learn to talk
You go to school
You slowly grow
You cry teenage years away
You graduate
You go to college
You get a degree
You get a job you hate
You meet someone
You get married
You slowly begin to hate her
You have kids
They grow
You grow older
You lose your hair
You hate her even more
You work that job
Your kids leave
Becoming a part of the cycle
You retire
You become angrier
More bitter
Sadder
Your kids are disappointments
You get grandkids
You become frailer
You die
Where did the time go?
What happened to dreams?
What a crazy show!
Get me off this ride!
I don't want to be a part of it!
This vicious cycle of life!
