Life Isn’t Fair

Life isn’t fair when people make choices for me

I know I’m the baby

Life isn’t fair when people think they know what best for me

But don’t try to control me

Life isn’t fair when people think they know me

Thinking you know what’s best for me

Life isn’t fair when people try to change me

When you don’t me

Life isn’t fair when people down grade me

Don’t even know that my heart is being played with

Life isn’t fair when people treat me like baby

Don’t even know that my heart is being played with

Why do people try to change me?

For 2 years I’m not going thought this again I’m not about to be played by some lower classmen

My Future Monday On this beautiful Monday morning, I wake up to the sun shining through my window of my penthouse apartment. I start my day off with a warm and relaxing shower. I get dress in a red dress with black red bottom Christian Louboutin and bag. Before I leave I grab my design book and laptop and head out I then start to make my way to work through downtown New York. On my way to work I stop by my favorite cafe and have some breakfast with my friend and intern Ella. After Ella and I order our food, we then started talking about her fiancé Jordan. "So what did you and Jordan talk about yesterday?", "we just talking about where the honeymoon going to be at and we thought about going to Spain and Mexico", said Ella. After we finished breakfast we continue walking to work. We soon end up in the lobby of the building where security is standing waiting to check bags and I.D., after the security check we take a ride on the elevator to the 8th floor. As soon as I step off the elevator my assistance Chris informs me on what meetings I have today, what retail store have offered deal, and everything else that happened this morning. "Okay, so you need to look over these deals from Target and J.C. Penny and your four o'clock meeting was moved to twelve", said Chris moving as if he had five caps of coffee. "Alright but first I need to see how the collection doing", said I walking to the development department of the building. I walk to the development department and handle business then head to my office. As the day goes by, I start to close out my work day and head home. On my way home I get a text from my friend Christina saying “Hey, r u still coming out tonight”, in reply I say, “yeah I’ll be at home getting ready” and I did just that. An hour later, Christina and a couple of other friends show up at my apartment to pick me up we then head out to our favorite comedy club. We arrive at the club just in time before the first act starts and enjoy the rest of the show. After the show we go get some food from Show mars then head home. I make my way up the stairs after a long day of work and fun. I first kick out my shoe and start watching T.V while eating my Show mars then I get ready for bed and lastly get comfortable in my bed and fell asleep. In twenty years I hope this will be my life as a happy and successful fashion designer.
