Never Ending Loops

I work my ass off for this family
I smile through the pain
Do the things you don't want to do
And yet this is how you treat me?

I spent all day watching the baby
And cleaning, preparing for tomorrow
But you can take a nap
I had 2 hours of sleep, maybe?

You know I have trouble sleeping
But you wake me up early
So you don't have to watch him
What's keeping you from seeing?

I'm 16 acting like I'm 30
Because I had to grow up
When my first nephew was born
And no one wanted to get down and dirty

I never learned how to be a kid
All because I had to watch someone else's
I love them, I really do
But this isn't my bid

My grades are failing
And you yell at me about it
But what do you expect when 24/7
Im babysitting

I come home from school
I come home from practice, aching
But the baby is placed in my arms
You must see me as a fool

But it's oh well
I love my nephews, I truly do
But my days are constant,
Never ending loops, of hell
