I Am Not My Mother
The most important walk
Is less then a block
And it
Means forever
A promise made with a long stride
That I'll always be by your side,
Doing wifely things
Every day and night
Cause I walked…
Well what if I ran instead
Could I still be held accountable for your happiness
Or what if I skipped
Even fell or flipped
Would the vow still make sense
It doesn’t matter I guess
I am not my mother
And divorce is just another lover
Found at the wedding dinner or the laundry mat
In fact
Lets get divorced first and see how that fares
Maybe will stay together in the end
