Instead ( written for the road less travelled comp)

I could have been single
Instead I’m not allowed to mingle

I could have been rich
Instead of your bitch

I could have been happy
Instead feeling crappy

I could have been a tom cat
Instead I was your doormat

I could have been in love
Instead you kicked that to the kerb

I could have been your prince
Instead I make you wince

I could have been a contender
Instead I just surrendered

If I had my time again
A different path I’d take
I would not be in your playpen
Of you I’d not partake
I would not be your debtor
To self I would be true
I would be so much better
If I hadn’t chose you
