Poem
So many times by my husband I have been told that I do too much all at once, But little does he know that if not by me the job just would not get done. No matter how sick and exhausted I may be I find that I must still push myself to the limit, It is my job to take the best care of my family in spite of the fact I have placed myself last on the list. The dishes linger in the sink for days taking a whole new life form all their own, In spite of me being exhausted I wash them any way just so the roaches will not invade our home. My baby boy has to be changed,fed, bathed, and clothed tasks that I do with discomforting pain, Well, this is the life that I have chose I just long every day for some kind of change. Daily, I hurriedly rip and run cleaning and cooking like a robot thta is in high demand, This here job of mine is just so damned overwhelming! I am in desperate need of a vacation. It is not a day that goes by morning, noon, and night my phone is always ringing, I find it hard for me in taking out some time to just sit down and enjoy conversating. Sadly, I have found that I am more stressed out and depressed than ever and I am seeing my few dreams slowly fade away, But i just continue to pray to God to give me the strength in keeping it together and hopefully everything will be okay. I am overworked as well as underpaid and at times I feel unappreciated too, Taking care of my family is how I spend my nights and my days and I cannot help that at times I tend to be in a not so great mood. Each and every night when I retire to my bed my body aches and my soul is at an unrest, I plan the schedule for tomorrow's work in my head at night I hardly ever completely settle down to a much needed rest.
