I cannot relax and read a book <br />There is always dinner to cook <br />I cannot think of staring into space <br />I may miss a chance in the rat race <br />I cannot sit back and read a novel <br />There will be snow in the pathway to shovel <br />I cannot spend an extra fifteen minutes in bed <br />There is always breakfast to be prepared <br />I cannot invite friends on weekdays to tea <br />There is always kids’ homework to oversee <br />I cannot, I cannot, I cannot <br />I am tired of being that super robot <br />I now need to break free from this drudgery <br />And stop feeling guilty endlessly<br /><br />Sandra Martyres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-cannot-12/
