When I was a child,
I loved all that I could see,
When I was young,
The world existing was enough for me.
But one day someone said,
That was not enough.
You need to go out,
And collect a bunch of useless stuff.
Get a job,
Close your heart,
Work yourself to death,
To prove you want the part.
Rent a house,
Get a lover,
If he runs out of spirit,
You know where to find another.
Go sit in a building,
The teacher's are a little bold.
Now I'm worth my weight in something,
But I'm not sure it's gold.
I am ready for a family,
I am ready to start my life,
I've invested my twenties wisely
So why am I filled with strife.
My family approves,
And I have a signed piece of paper.
I am the ultimate feminist,
So why am I not full of caper?
When I was quite young,
I'd meditate on mountains,
And I'd bask in the sun.
I'd chase the coyotes,
I'd watch the galaxy all night,
And I gave it all up,
To prove I was alright.
When I was young I thought I knew,
Exactly what to do.
When I was young I never imagined,
I'd meet a man like you.
Thank You
