Nobody Cares!

Ah what a dreary existence is mine
Beds upon beds wait with linen in line

Ah what a dreary existence is mine
Beds upon beds wait with linen in line
Floors that need dusting and food to be made
Wish in another bright era I stayed

Nobody listens or sees what I do
Nobody hears all my plans that are new
Nobody shares my impossible goals
Nobody cares for me, no not a soul!

I am the wife that’s perpetually tired
Groaning, complaining, I wish that I’d died
Where has the laughter and happiness gone
Is it my fault that the home has gone wrong?

‘Old and decrepit’, I see it quite clear
They interrupt and depart, so uncouth
Where is respect and the care that is due
Is life worth living for me  I ask you?

Child, youth or adult, life should not be dark
Filled with no purpose, the prospects all stark
What is the remedy  let Me tell you
Find why you’re here and you’ll face life anew.
