There is some truth in these words here, but if we keep trying we can always change our life and make it better, but just need to believe in ourselves, love Dolly x

I'm afraid I missed understanding what your awesome joke was as the last line is ambiguous. Possibly you should have 'except' instead of 'accept' as the meanings are quite different:
According to internet...
Accept (pronounced [ak-sept]) is a transitive verb meaning to willingly receive, allow, or approve of something or someone. Except (pronounced [ek-sept] is mainly used as a preposition meaning "excluding" or "apart from."
So, do you wish you had a different life but are stuck with this one?... in which context the word should be 'except'.

Yes, willingly allow. I willingly accept a life I'm stuck in except I hate being stuck in it. Yeah, it's not all that hilarious. Thanks for the review, Lisa.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Excellent, funny and, of course, making the reader smile. The image is perfect for the prompt and the verse with its accurate syllable count captures the mood with pithy wit reminding me a little of Oscar Wilde quotes. Well done and good luck, Debbie
