“The Wife!”


I urge a day of your life, 
When I don’t have to be the wife. 
Not because, I have any complaints,
But for a while, I want my own space ! 

When I won’t have to decide on the meals,
And I won’t have to be all day for the kids.
I agree to face your struggle, 
But atleast, I will skip the dull ! 
Not because, I don’t love you all, or am being rough, 
But lately, I haven’t been able to love myself enough. 

When I can just get up and leave, to see an old friend over coffee, 
I can be neatly dressed all day, and be all flossy. 
I agree, you have your own hassle,  
But, I would choose yours, over my scuffle. 
Not because, I believe you are at ease, 
But, this is what sometimes I please. 

When I can laze around and watch my favourite show, 
I can excuse myself for having a tiring day, feeling low. 
I agree, you perfectly do your part,
But mine, is a demanding art. 
Not that, I want to run from all this, 
But, everyday there’s a lot for myself,  I miss. 

I urge a day of your life, 
when I don’t have to be the wife. 
Not that your vows, I mock, 
But mine, never ends, its round the clock!
