Adulting

There's a place I was told about
When I was small
People lived their passions
Everyone had it all - ugh, lego

I'd marry Prince Charming
Get my white picket fence
Motherhood was natural
And everything made sense

Wait, was that chocolate or poop

I blame Nick at Nite
For making me believe
I'd get everything right
Adulting

There's a bill of goods that we all bought
When we were young
We're special snowflakes
No song goes unsung

Why don't I feel good enough
For love and meaning, simple stuff
Why is everything so tough

'Cause it was all a lie
And now I'm paying off student loans
Until I die
Adulting

There's a place that I want to be
Where my voice is heard
I wake up every morning
Capture every word inside
Everything feels so right
There's room for love in my life
I know who I am and what I want to say
A new way, a new way

With flossing!
Mindful eating!
Dating!
Exercising!
Meditating!
Journaling!
On-time bill paying!

Ho-ly shit!

There's a place that I'm headed now
A better day
Doing things for me
Nothing stands in my way
I'll make a vision board
With all the things I'll do
To help me take steps toward
A new way of
Adulting
