I am tired of being the cook and waiter
The mother to my nephew and the cleaner
There has to be something more
Something that I must search for.
I am getting tired and I need some rest
I thank God that I have been blessed
I just need someone in my life
To make my hidden pain alright.
I miss being able to laugh and have fun
Now, I am always the one on the run
I have no time. It seems all I can do
Is what my parents tell me too.
I need a break today
A chance to get away
Who am I kidding? This life is all I know
Maybe I am just not ready to let it go?
