A HOUSEWIFE

No matter how exhausted my day ends, Mornings ceases my sleep, And knock my brain to awake, Because My responsibilities keep-on flashing!! No matter how long I hang round the kitchen, Neither I complain nor stop doing my work, Because my responsibilities keep-on flashing!! No matter how ill I am, I never step back from my daily chores, Because my responsibilities keep-on flashing!! Departing my dreams, Accepting a new family, new life and new me, Expected a dreamy life, But my boundaries are limited to household chores, And my wings are tied behind!!! Then Somehow adapted &accepted the truth, That Housewives are, Neither paid nor appreciated, Neither should expect a holiday nor have a choice to call off, But wish there was a mandate, Where Our work is acknowledged and Partaken!!! —-YESHASRI CHENNAGOUNI
