I used to dream about gadgets and gizmos,
Of flying and fighting,
But things are different now.

Now it seems I can't remember,
My old dreams and hopes,
I know I used to dream, but how?

I used to wish for toys,
I used to wish for useless things,
But now I wish for something new.

Now it seems life is harder,
Life used to be so simple,
Others don't understand, do you?

I used to think that I was lucky,
Because my parents were together,
I guess I should have wished for something different.

I used to wish they wouldn't really be together,
So they wouldn't always fight,
But now I got my wish, and it wasn't what I meant.

My kingdom was perfect,
My kingdom was clean,
But now it's changed.

My kingdom was nice,
It was warm and bright,
My kingdom was vast, and widely-ranged.

But then the king left,
And my castle fell,
My beautiful castle was no more.

My gardens rotted,
My animals died,
Now what am I living for?

I used to have no purpose,
Because my life was perfect,
But now I see what I can do.

I can trust my friends,
And love my family,
They all cry with me, do you?

I can try my hardest,
Become a good girl,
Work myself to greatness.

I will make my future,
Forge my own path,
I will not be fateless.

For I am a daughter of divorce,
And my family stands at my side to gaurd me,

My friends help me along in hard times to guide me,

We laugh, scream, yell, and cry as one.
We shoulder each other's burden, and together, we carry the weight of the world.
