I did not think my life would be this way-
my childhood self had many different dreams.
My yesterday is nothing like today.
-
My antecedent thought I’d get a say
if staying squarely on the good girl teams.
I did not think my life would be this way.
-
My value was what metrics could display
to others- what a boastful family deems.
My yesterday is nothing like today.
-
Surprises caused the path to go astray-
some choices, others more survival schemes.
I did not think my life would be this way.
-
Reflection changed the method that I weigh
the value of competitive extremes.
My yesterday is nothing like today.
-
As parent, grace and kindness I convey-
to look upon yourself with loving themes.
I did not think my life would be this way.
My yesterday is nothing like today.
