wish for her children

Born in a trailer
Not a mobile home
Not classy

Lived her life behind a junk yard fence
With fighting parents
Both of them angry addicts

Decides she will become rich and famous
No help and little education
Not much talent

She is a mother now
Three little kids
Hoping they will do better
At least finish highschool
