Do you KNOW what I do?

[locus_ofcontro]

When you come into the world too soon ? When you can't find anyone to play with ? When you are left home alone ? When you hate the new baby ? When you don't think your teacher likes you ? When you are bullied ? When you don't want mommy and daddy to divorce ? When you miss your big brother ? When you don't like how the neighbor touches you ? When you get into fights at school ? When you don't make the team ? When your best friend moves away ? When you get poor grades ? When you always fight with your siblings ? When your friends pressure you to get high ? When you can't adjust to the move ? When you can't talk to your parents ? When you want to quit school ? When your friends don't like you anymore ? When you didn't want this baby ? When you feel like running away ? When your friend swallows an overdose ? When you are the only one that thanks you're fat ? When you can't find someone who speaks your language ? When you can't forget the assault ? When you can't decide on a career ? When your family pressures you to marry ? When your boss is hitting on you ? When you can't stick to a budget ? When you want to adopt ? When you wonder if you are drinking too much ? When you think you are neglecting your kids ? When you are hated because of who you are ? When you lose your baby ? When your community has gang problems ? When your kids want to live with your ex ? When your partner is unfaithful ? When you want to meet your birthparent ? When your disabled child needs friends ? When your step-kids hate you ? When your mother won't speak to you ? When you just can't face moving again ? When your spouse wants a divorce ? When you want to be a foster parent ? When your city officials don't respond ? When your best friend has panic attacks ? When you find drugs in your son's room ? When your job is eliminated ? When your mother-in-law wants to move in ? When your neighborhood needs a community center ? When you find there is no joy in your life ? When your car accident destroys your career ? When you sponsor a refugee family ? When your legislature passes a bad law ? When your brother won't help care for dad ? When your partner has a mid life crisis ? When you are stressed by menopause ? When you are caring for parents and children ? When you want to change careers ? When you lose your home in a fire? When you are angry all the time ? When your nest really empties ? When your partner insists you retire ? When you can't afford respite care ? When you can't find a job and you're sixty ? When your kids demand you move in with them ? When your daughter suddenly dies ? When you are scared about living alone ? When you can't drive any more ? When your children ignore your medical decisions ? When your retirement check won't pay the bills ? When you learn you have a terminal illness ? When you need a nursing home ?
