I always liked nice things Didn't understand why, just knew I wanted to live like princesses or kings I realized at a young age that no one was gonna get them for me but me Started babysitting children as many as three Got a retail job at sixteen Figured out quickly life was just a smoke screen Been working ever since Thought I'd found my prince I tried so hard to believe But I was deceived At twenty two decided to go back to post secondary school . I worked two jobs,  and lived on my own. Ventured out to the combat zone Have drive and ambition Things that are admired in men but Feared and condemned in women I now live in a beautiful home,  drive a luxury vechile and have a high paying job After all these years I still like the finer things in life But I have realized the one and only thing I have ever wanted was to belong
