Unicorn of Lime

Burned years over my shoulder.
So many days filled with blunders.
I thought I deserved no better.
Head buried in my sweater.
My family was holding me down.
They didn’t notice my breakdown.

I got what I never dreamed of.
But the sun didn’t rise over my roof.
I thought I was going to win.
But why am I doing nothing?

I was glad I left my parents’ home.
For a long time, I didn’t talk to Mom.
My wings lightly touched freedom.
But my head is a closed window.
I had to go back several times.
Life was sour like green limes.

I got what I never dreamed of.
But the sun didn’t rise over my roof.
I thought I was going to win.
But why am I doing nothing?

Now I have a caring spouse.
My life became like a rose.
Love is no longer a unicorn.
But heavy thoughts still hide like thorns.
I’m blocking my own happiness.
Guilty in the face of kindness.

I got what I never dreamed of.
But the sun didn’t rise over my roof.
I thought I was going to win.
But why am I doing nothing?
