Holding it all down

Taking care of home

There whenever I’m needed

Giving more than I own.

Misunderstood and taken for granted

Feeling less than I’m worth

Back here where I’m planted.

Whining don’t change a thing

With dreams hiding on a dusty shelf,

And complaining won’t make a difference

When I give all and leave me bereft,

So it’s about time

I step out into the forefront

And finally do something for myself.
