The Women In My Life

I watched them break there backs
Barely putting their feet up to relax
These men they had they were laxxed
Their mind occupied passing time
To cook and clean was their need
Never looking forward to anything
To be let down their smile became a frown 
Their tears they cried inside 
To live a life without self and why
To be left alone, when their older and grown
Never becoming their purpose outside of the surface
These women I have known
