Shawty's Rhyme Book

Regret

I used to be a tiny baby girl
With momma always sayin'
She's very proud of me; but she never
realised the tiny baby had big dreams

Momma had her plans
thought out for her baby
But those blueprints
just weren't for me

I wished I'd told her
Right there and then
But mommy's happiness
meant everything to the
Little girl of ten

Now look what has become of me
Think of all the things I could've been
All the things I could've done
My life's weathered away doing
The things I didn't even have a taste for...

I hope your happy now mum

Now that the strings have come undone
Here's the knife, here's my vein
I'll never retrieve all the wasted time
This life isn't mine so I'll throw it away.
