the Plight of Being Responsible
I need a vacation
from being the
responsible one
from taking care of
everything
and being held back
from the fun
doing things for
others
and getting nothing
in return
it's making my blood boil
and my inner
flesh burn
i'm not really sure
how i got this role
of being the one who does
everything
it's just eating away
at my soul
i'm ready for
someone, anyone to
realize the plight i'm in
and free me from
their obligations
so i can delve in a bit of sin
it must be nice
that i can let them live
this way
but i need a vacation
that's all i gotta say!!

I was just talking about how if I only get one life, why am I working? Why am I not enjoying my one life :) I can relate big time to this.

Oh, JeJe. I just noticed I had typed the wrong name. My brain must have misfired - Bigtime!! I'm very remorseful, my friend. :(

Very relatable, responsibility is
always good until it starts to suffocate.
Very well written :)
