Dare to Dream

How she was trained to be to serve another's need

Don't think about herself although she wanted to succeed 

 

Teacher says she has potential parents laugh amongst themselves 

Just because she gets good grades doesnt really mean she's smart

 

No college planned for her not allowed to dream of such a thing

Continue doing laundry and dishes too don't forget the vacuuming 

 

If the house becomes a mess she better clean it quick

Daddy's got a belt for her siblings blame a favorite trick

 

Surrounded by thier anger best not to set them off

Sometimes it's unavoidable a target for thier wrath

 

Spend her life to try to please them until she finds a way to leave

Another copy of her family all rolled up into him

 

It all ends before beginning it's based upon a lie

Another decade later another marriage going wrong

 

Stay in therapy for years to get it figured out

Reparenting herself to learn how she deserves the best

 

Remember way back when silly thoughts she entertained 

How she always loved to learn before they took it all away

 

Leave that family all behind best thing she ever did

No more shrinking violet now she holds her head up high

 

Still she's shy in person until you show her who you are 

Painfully sensitive at times a thing she tries to hide 

 

And now shes found a simple life it's safe to be alone

Really it's not what she wants its only what she knows

 

But then at times she wonders if she really dared to dream

If Cinderella found Prince Charming could she not do the same
