Two Pink Lines
WHAM!
Slapped in the face,
By the future,
And the stick.
Two pink lines
Change my life forever -
The fickle finger of fate just flipped me off.
Says "this is what I think of your future plans..."
This is what I think...
Two Pink Lines ~
They'll change everything
Your emotions
Your body
Your life
Oh yeah, his too!
"I'll stand by you whatever you decide."
It sounds like what you think you want to hear.
But it's not.
Be a fucking man
Step up to the plate and make some god damn lemonade.
Oops. Wouldn't want to mix my metaphors
Let's just blame it on the hormones.
Yes I want the stereotypical "American Dream."
Cliche' but true.
The husband, house, kids, & dog.
Even the fucking carpool and PTA.
That's my "American Dream."
Dinner on the table when he gets home from work.
But I do want them in a certain order.
Can't I in this day and age of the
"Independent Woman"
Choose not to have the power suit and career?
Being a wife, mom, and good homemaker...
those are jobs too.
Damn hard ones at that.
Two Pink Lines
They can really screw with your head.
Where do two simple lines obtain such power?
To turn right side wrong?
The whole world upside down!
I mean, they don't DO anything.
They appear - or they don't.
They don't make sperm and egg connect... or unconnect
Either you already are not.
So why do you feel
Like you're waiting for your score on the LSAT'S?
Watching the color wash from left to right.
Eyes straining...
No, that's not two lines,
Yes, No, No, Yes, Yes, No,... REALLY?
I, uh, uh, how? (Okay, so I know how.)
When?
Why?
Then realization sinks in...
HOLY SHIT!
NO F-ING WAY -
Two Pink Lines
It can really mess with your day
especially when it's not planned.
A test you don't study for -
How cool is that?
It's really not as good as it sounds.
LSAT'S, mid-terms, and EPT'S
Results are always final.
No T.A. to sweet talk into changing the results.
Hell, in a manner of speaking
sweet talk is what got me into this -
(Or at least on my back.)
Two Pink Lines
It's not like racing home to show mom and Dad
Your report card as a kid.
Two Pink Lines -
A new life will flash before your eyes.
How do you share with him the results?
Do you just hand him the stick?
How will he react?
Two Pink Lines
And NOW I wonder how he really feels -
What is this?
Do I sit him down and say "we really need to talk"?
No,
Not those words.
Never those words.
Just leave it out on the bathroom counter
So he sees...
The Two Pink Lines?
And then "the talk."
Lives permantly altered.
For better or worse...
Two Pink Lines.
