You can't have it all


But you can have the grandmother who is too frightened to leave the only home she has,
While her daughter has left to a new life.
You  can have the fear and anxiety of leaving your own home
Like an immigrant coming to a new country.
You can have a delicious sandwich that your mother makes everyday
Filled with delicious peanut butter which makes you smile in every bite.
You can have the one show that almost everyone will go to see
Except yourself.
You can have the ultimate vacation In which you have to avoid everything you touch
Since you are too afraid of getting sick.
You can have the kid who would always teases you and you are forced to avoid him when he comes near.
You can have the biggest show in the country
But in which you have to wait almost 2 hours to start since the star is too lazy to come.
You can have the non-moving street and midnight
With danger in almost every corner.
You can have the small cramped seat in the small cramped bus.
You can have the cold and freezing weather from New York city  witch makes you irritated when you
 come out of the hotel.
You can have the noise, shouts and beeping noises on traffic of every Friday.
You can have the street performer dancing in the cold weather and still tells his audience
He’s a happy man.
You can have the pouring rain and the cold hard blowing weather
Ruining part of your vacation.
You can have the horrible mornings when you wake up
With only complaints lying ahead.
You can have the millions of options of what to do in one of the greatest cities
And with your parents, who always pick the wrong one.
You can have the never ending line
That takes almost half of your whole day.
You can have the need to do everything you want
But in which you are too lazy to do so.
You can have the most wonderful, fancy restaurant
But with the not so fancy food.
You can have the most irritating friend who always annoys you
But is who you always seem to be talking to.
You can have the father who was born poor
But is now a happy wealthy man.
You can have the 2 hour drive which will only feel like
15 minutes when you are having fun
You can have the darkness of the streets corner,
Hoping for it to be nothing there.
You can have all those things that you already have today
But at one point you have to work to get all the stuff you can have
To live a better life.
