Housewife

Who m I just a housewife
Without any dreams
Or ambitions in life

So what if I was good with ciphering game
I got stucked while deciphering life aim
Now I use my mathematical skills
Only to calculate household bills

So what if I was good with studies
I failed to keep close buddies
Now Im lost in a lonely planet
With no friends by my side
And desire to read is buried deep inside

So what if sports was my passion
I was told it can never be ambition
It was time when running was my life
Now I feel I’m running from life..

So what if I was trendy then
Latest clothes accessories were always in hand
Now I just don’t go shopping ever
What’s in trend I never care

Moving ahead is the rule of life
Leaving behind all good and bad time
Now I have new relation to grow
New home with new responsibility to show

Who m I and what I earn
What’s my identity I’m trying to learn
All my certis are closed in a file
Even I had forgotten them for while

I’m a housewife working 24×7
Trying to make home as heaven
Learning things I had never seen
From cooking food to making house clean

I use to make list of my dreams
Things to achieve and places to see
I make list even now
Wht to purchase from where and how

I feel something eating me from within
Making my soul suffocating
With passing time I lost myself
my dreams, my aim my self-confidence
My knowledge is always questionable
I’m always found incapable

Who m I just a housewife
Without any dreams
Or ambitions in life
