When I was born
I should've automatically been given all the jewels in the world.
I didn't ask for poverty
Enjoy everything from a distance
I wanna be in it.
Not looking up
Fighting the nausea of saying no
Putting life on hold.
It might be selfish
But i believe a parents situation shouldn't involve a child.
A child shouldn't have to
grieve the life they could've had
Even with working.
We wake up to bathroom lights and end our day with them too,
Why would anybody want that?
I'll be homeless soon because my mum wanted a little girl
Who wanted all the jewels in the world.
