Who Am I
Who am I?
I’m a mother, daughter, wife, and friend,
I’m a workmate, although sometimes have to pretend
To be happy, smile, have fun
At times I just want to hide, maybe run
From people, work, situations,
I don’t know why, there are no explanations
I don’t like confrontations
Is this normal?
Other times life is great, happy and lots of fun,
Plenty laughs, parties, time with my favourite son
Cosy nights in, and a wee bit of loving
Until the teenager walks in and we’re all left blushing!
We all have our daily routines,
Work, dinner, housework, you know the scene
Winter makes us lazy, stay indoors, watch telly
Rubbish weather, eat lots and fill our belly
I can’t wait for spring, light nights, a wee bit sunshine
More family time, outdoors with a glass of wine
This feels normal.
I know who I am. I’m a person who hates the dark,
The winter, it makes me sad, lazy, uninspired
I go to work, but can’t be bothered, too tired
Its not lack of sleep, and I love my job,
But I want to go back to bed, be a slob
I need warmth, cocktails, a swimming pool
Factor 30, a sun hat and food that makes me drool
Well I will have to wait, its not holiday time yet
Woman up, give myself a shake and grab my headset
Put that smile on, be happy and don’t hide
From the awkward customers and workmates, and decide
Where will I book – Turkey or Crete
Somewhere with soft sand for under my feet
That will cheer me up, something to look forward to
I don’t need to pretend, I know I’ll get through
The next few months till I can get a break
Away with the family, memories to make
