To sleep in late, cuddled under my covers
To make chili cause it's cold
And beer bread just for fun
To play and laugh and live
Instead
I must go to a place I don't like
And do work I don't enjoy
So that there is enough money
For a roof and some food
My work will continue once I get home
For I am working at college
So that instead
I can work at an easier job
To make more money
So that sometimes
Rarely
I can sleep in late, cuddled under my covers
Making chili cause it's cold
And beer bread just for fun
So I can play and laugh and live
Sometimes…
