Wanda Mckinney Poet Narrative

Nobody (She'Ll Just Suffer In Silence)

Who do you think is going to be willing to make everything all right
once she finally has her mental breakdown?
Nobody... she'll just suffer in silence
Who do you think is going to be  willing to rock her back to sleep in the middle of
the night
whenever the frightful demons come around?
Nobody... she'll just suffer in silence

Sadly, she can't seem to count on her husband on being there for her these days
because it's late  nights when he enjoys his play
And she can't depend on their two kids
because they're both grown and have their own lives to live
she'll just suffer in silence

Who do you think is going to be willing to do the dirty dishes
as they continue to pile on up in the sink?
Nobody...she'll just have to do it all on her own
And who do you think is going to be willing to do the dirty laundry
and prepare a meal to eat?
Nobody... she'll just have to do it all on her own

Sadly, she can't seem to count on her husband on doing anything much these
days
because he's allowed so many distractions to get in the way
And she can't depend on their two kids
because they're always willing to receive but are never willing to give
she'll just suffer in silence

Who is going to be willing to take care of her once she gets herself down
and needs some tender, loving, care  of her own
Nobody... she'll just suffer in silence.
