Just a housewife

I am just a housewife.

I am just a housewife;
Struggling with what to do.
Burned out on caring for all of you.

I am just a housewife;
The woman in me subdued.
She is lost with the laundry
The never ending list “to do”

What happened to my dreams?

Buried under the credit card debt,
Living a lie and a life of regret.

I am just a housewife;
Doing all I can, to get by.

I am just a housewife;
Waiting for you to say
I want you.
