Midlife crisis
I am not young
I am not pretty
I am not slender
But I still have dreams
I am not rich
I am not insolvent
I am not poor
But I could use some more money
I am not lacy
I am not immobile
I am not working
But I have lots to do
I am not intolerant
I am not stubborn
I am not lonely
But I would love to have some more friends
I am not old
I am not ugly
I am not fat
But I still have dreams
