I dont want to be the one- A Poem

I don't want to be the daughter who missed her parents' anniversary because she signed up for AP Calculus

I don't want to be the sister who couldn't go to her brother's basketball game because she had to prepare for MCATS

I don't want to be the wife who couldn't have dinner with her husband because she was putting overtime in the research paper

I don't want to be the mother who wasn't there for her child's first day of school because she was busy on her business trips

I don't want to be the one left alone for the crowd who never cared

I don't want to cut the ties with those whom I loved

I don't want to lose my today for an imaginary tomorrow

I don't want to cry everyday for the luxuries of the fantasy world

I don't want to yet again, lose another day in the hopes of the short lived success
