My Space

by Jodie Phillips   Feb 8, 2008


I want to scream
I want to be me
Everyone relies on me
I just want to be free.

If I'm not doing what i should be
I feel so guilty.

I don't want to cook tonight just want to sit down
Then you walk through the door with a disappointing frown.

Theres the guilt
I hate this feeling
This is what you have built.

On my feet all day kids in constant demand
I have to act on every command.

I know thats my responsibility
But please just once let me be me.

I know you expect it don't want to let you down
How would you cope if it was the other way round.

To be able to sit down in silence this is what i crave
To read a magazine to do sweet fa. Just for one day.

This is to all you working mums or housewives
We still gotta have our own lives.
