A Lot On My Plate

Ironic.
A full plate in life
An empty plate on the table.
When I hear "you've got a full plate",
I cringe; I'm starving.

Starving for dreams that can't come true
Mother's mistake can't undo
I'd rather starve than eat like you.

Not hungry today
Got a lot on my plate 
Fasting for nothing 
But pain.

Feed me pain 
It's all I understand now
Or let me go
How I still love you so...
Ironic.
