Untitled
I stay at home with nothing to do
not able to set goals to make my dreams rise above
if you must ask why I can't do anything
It's because my mom thinks its not worth it
It's a waste for me to get college degrees
She'd rather let me marry for money instead
This makes me rather angry and frustrated
I am her second daughter that 's not supposed to be who she is
To be a unique invividual is not allowed
They expect me to be filling in the shoes of a family member
who we don't know is long gone, or is still alive
It's too much to be like that woman that I never took after
