It is an ice cream

And ginger cookies day

Like every day

When reality hits you:

You realize that what you have,

The mind you have been working on

Since you were born,

Is ill-adapted to this world.

To pay the bills you’ll have to 

Come up with a plan.

It’d better be good.

You won’t have time

Or energy

To do what you do best.

People love to look at it

Listen to it

As long as it is free.

But it never was,

The price I paid

Is high:

Seven teeth,

A broken jaw,

Eternal daddy’s girl.
