1. Goals Vs Responsibility

I know I'm aware
It's two months for the exam to prepare
I trust me, won't get trapped in any snare
Then, I heard a noise that made me scare

The early morning alarm to make me awake
Finally, going to bed then comes a quake
My toddler wants a milk break
It leads to my dream shake

Toddler wakes me twice to thrice late in the night
I sincerely declare, the sleep a fight
But ended up skipping the other day ought
I couldn't wake up till time is eight

Here starts my day full of pressure
I have to rush here and there
Begins with breakfast, lunch, and tea with snacks to prepare
It ends with night supper

If I find time to open the book
After spending hours to cook
Laundry, cleaning, and dishes, lingering me with a hook
I left no choice but in front my responsibilities to Crook

I cook for everyone, from time to time, to feed
Small to big, do every deed
If I think about when will I be freed
Elders advise to adjust instead of being greed

Always says, no to diaper
Yes, good thing to switch into panties to the toddler
When I open the book, he goes to pee or potty either
My valuable time will slowly disappear

When will I get time
To rest and fulfill my aim
No matter what I do, treated like a dime
As if I'm a grim

At least I'm blessed with a buttress husband
Who gives me in everything, his helping hand
But in-laws dislike, him taking the stand
So as a result they give him a band

Always tries to blame
Me, to get their fame
Why don't they try to tame
Instead of criticizing me lame

Complaints to my parents at the end
If I make myself defend
Like I'm always talking about blend
And even says I'm forcing household work on my husband

If my parents arose
To leave the toddler till my exam at their house
Immediately in-laws oppose
Speaks, as if they are going to lose

Over to it, advice, I might've chosen either
Carrer or kid before giving birth to their heir
Tells them asking like that is not fair
I feel like drowning under the water of unfair

Now, I realized
Why my mother dropped
Out from her studies, to mind
Me and my sister. So, she remained

Shall I give up too? No, it's not the end...

I shouldn't give upIf so, God might've chosen to stopRight at the entrance of my mother's womb, to permanently sleepSo I decided to well build-up

I shouldn't give up
If so, God might've chosen to stop
Right at the entrance of my mother's womb, to permanently sleep
So I decided to well build-up

If I compare it to some others
Mine seems a little stress
So I determined to cope more and worry less
Until I attain my goal for my ultimate happiness
