Stream of Consciousness I: By Any Other Name

Stream of Consciousness I: By Any Other Name

Would someone please tell me how my life became this?

I mean, I never asked for it, ya know?

I never put on airs.

Pretended to be anyone I'm not (Well at least not off stage!)
I mean, I was happy with my life before Princess showed up.

Yeah, I was struggling, but I was making it on my own.

Doing my own thing.

Being me.

Now I don't even know who I am anymore.

My name isn't really mine.

My life shouldn't have been my life.

I mean, think about it, would ya.

The life I've been pretending to be mine turns out to have actually been the life that I should've been living, and she should've had mine.


Boggles the mind, doesn't it?

But at the same time, I wouldn't change what my life was.

My Ma really was something.

But now it turns out she wasn't, my Ma I mean.

G-d, it just makes my head spin!

Don't know what it all means.

Where I go from here.

I don't think things will be coming up roses anytime soon, but then again, you know what they say about a Rose of another name.

Just one thing.

I don't know what name this Rose should be going by!
