When life has  beaten you down
And you no longer want to wear beautiful gowns
All day, you stay in your nightgown

You look at that pile
And say I will get to that in a while
You used to have such style 

The house was never a mess
You always welcome guests
Now, you just feel like less

Upon the couch, you lay
Mindless hours of play
This way, you used to never stay 

You think to yourself, maybe tomorrow will be better
Maybe a return of unicorns and glitter
And you’ll put on a sweater

When life has beaten you down
Remove that frown
Get up and put on your crown
