Karma

I remember how you looked back in the day

How every guy wanted you in the worst way

But for all that beauty you showed outside

Lurked an ugly truth simmering inside

You learned early on how to climb the social ladder

Hang out with only girls whose families matter

All your friends must be as hot as you

As for the boys not just any guy will do

He's got to have a new car, hot car, fast car

Something others can envy you've come so far

A wallet you can withdraw from like an ATM

Stuffed in some fancy designer label pocket

The years rolled on they have not been kind to you

Two failed marriages and a few brats in your brood

Those once perky cheeks now a story of regret and despair

You look decades older and hefty beyond repair

You have a meager job you barely maintain

Pays more than you're worth at minimum wage

Those deadbeat dads can't even visit their kids

The cupboard's bare with a growing shopping list

Seems your tiara has tarnished your future

You coudn't be further from the world of haute couture

You live in squallor and your dreamshave turned to dust

The school reunion is soon and all will see how gold can rust

There'll be no tears shed for the fate that is now yours

There will be smirks of joy as the karma unfolds

And for all of those who suffered your ridicule

Seeing you as you are will be the crowning jewel.
