I am in my thirties A turning point in my life I need something for me Other than being a mother and a wife The same ole' routine everyday Has put me in a rut Now all these emotions are coming out I feel them deep inside my gut My husband works While the kids are at school Leaving me with my thoughts Thinking, "I need a life too" Cooking meals and doing laundry Are part of everyday chores Things I used to enjoy Has suddenly become a bore Should I go back to school Or maybe find a job To make me feel self worth Rather than sitting here being a sob I stayed home to raise my kids And that's something I wouldn't change But now's the time for me So my life, I need to rearrange I have to love myself Or else I'll never be any good for me And I think that every woman in her thirties Would definitely agree This is a hard age in life Inside, you feel almost dead I have to find a place for these thoughts That are racing through my head I have two beautiful girls and a loving husband So, I know that I've been blessed But now there's too much time on my brain And I don't want to rest I will not stop Until I find something out there for me My mind is holding me prisoner And I'm the only one who can set it free |
