THE CAT

I always wanted to be but I never could.
I always wanted to be but I never quite would.

When I was a kid I thought my life would go the ordinary way. I’d be a wife and a mommy with two kids and a cat and a huge mortgage to pay. But it never happened as hard as I would try.
And finally at forty I am waving bye bye
To the old ideas- to the image that I thought would be.
Finally at forty I will have to see.
I’m not your average slave to fashion. It’s just as I had feared.
As much as I wanted to be normal, I always end up choosing to be weird.

And I never know what to make of all of that.
All I ever got from the whole idea was the cat.

I always wanted to be but I never could.
I always wanted to be but I never quite would.
