"Dream big," they say.
But! within the guidelines we provide for you, of course.
Here, look at these options we have for you!

You could be a teacher,
marry your husband
have kids
oh! and don't forget the white picket fence!

OR you could be a doc- umm nurse
marry your husband
have kids
oh! and don't forget the white picket fence!

OR you could be a stay at home mom,
marry a rich husband
have kids
OH!! and don't forget the
white.
picket.
fence.
So many sociably acceptable choices :)

Well,
To me this isn't "Dreaming big."
This is, "Dream what will be easiest in life."
This is, "Dream what we want you to dream."
This is, "Dream, but, not really."
And you know what i say to that??
I'll burn down a thousand white picket fences just to be able to dream!

That old american white picket fence, it
confines
blocks and
retrains
any of the dreams I had, have, or am going to have.

The fetter of my life,
a white picket fence.
