I'm Invincible
I'm invincible
I can do it all
I raise my kids
Clean my house
Groom my pets
Study my degree
Work my jobs
Keep my thoughts to myself
Smile on cue
Nod, look interested, pay attention, don't fidget, focus focus focus.......
Ignore the pressure
I got this
Take the rubbish out
Take the bins out
Pay the rent, the mortgage, the water rates, land rates, power, uni books, clothes for the kids again, more food, endless train tickets, driving lessons, school fees, school books, uni books, excess water, pet rego.......
Do the laundry, the dishes, the gardening.
I got this I got this.
Ignore the criticism, stoic stoic, it's fine I'm fine I'm totally fine.
The kettle is broken its fine I'll use a pan.
Defend yourself again, over explain, justify, internalise, you are fine just keep going. Five hours sleep it's ok you can sleep tomorrow maybe.
So busy, so hungry, so tired
Do I eat or sleep, pick one.
Do I eat or pay bills, pick one.
No time for hobbies.
No friends. Empty. Quiet. Meaningless.
Cry in the shower.....the hot water is broken....it's fine, this is totally fine.
