goodnight

i'm sick and i'm tired
and yet the world turns
forcing me to turn with it
keep on rolling
toiling
wishing i could just lie down
for a while and say goodnight
to all that is expected of me

the new days dawn
bringing new life
but not to mine
the same old questions
problems
issues arise and i am to solve them
make it all better

mommies never get to rest
never unwind completely
we are always on the go
looking out for those
who cannot yet fend for themselves
little do they know
they will someday wish they could say
goodnight

Reflecting Time

Looking out through the window
Reflecting time's illusions.
A new perspective.
