Each day is the same for me

Unappreciated and unseen

My life revolves around nothing but my own

I’m a single mother who tries her best

I work ten hours a day then clean the rest

I have no time to rest I never stop moving

Soccer practice to band practice

Dinner by six bed by nine

My night is at ten i have to be on time

If I’m late again I’ll probably be fired

I just want some advil or some wine

Im truly exhausted and tired

There’s times when I want to quit

But i can’t now time for school

I rush to make lunches not stopping to think about mine

It’s fine though I’ll just eat later

But when later on my lunch break?

I can’t then I have taxes to do

Bills to be paid and organized

Lists to be made of the things we need

Oh how I ache my feet my back

I just want to go back

To when it was easier

But no I don’t

My kids made me who I am

I love them more than anyone could comprehend

No one can really understand

He left me by myself

He wasn’t really a man

He gave up before even trying

It’s okay though I’m over it

I stopped crying

Being by myself made me strong

Made me unbreakable  

I’ll hold on till I can no longer

I’ll keep striving till I can no more
