time for me

i need a break. a break
from the reality
that is my life.
i love my life but,
i need some time for me.
the fact that the biggest
decision of my day
is whether to serve
jelly sandwiches or
grilled cheese
is unbearable. i love
my life but,
i need some time for me.
the fact that i only leave
the house
to return with groceries
is not satisfying. i remember
a time when i had
adult conversation. choosing
between elmo and winnie the pooh
is not mentally stimulating.
i'm so tired
of having to choose
between saying the word "no"
or giving time out.
i need a break. a break
from the reality
that is my life. i love
my life. i wouldn't trade it
for anything else
in the world but,
i need some time
for me.
