I want to pay my rent
but I don’t need to.
I want to eat healthy
but I don’t need to.
I want to have nice clothes
but the old ones falling apart will do.
I want to send my kids to school
but I could try to let them be truants for awhile.
I want to be a good parent
but I don’t need to be,
apparently anyone can be a parent.

to afford them before
society deems you incapable
and takes them away.
Either through force
or disease
or poverty.
