Homemade Brownies

I can smell baking in the oven

And I'm in the living room

Sitting next to my own piece of heaven 

And the timer goes off, "Do I have to move?"

I mean, they're only homemade brownies,

Just one little pan

They can't be that important

Not as much as he says I am

So I'll just sit here

Only a few minutes longer

Am I still so blinded by the fear

Of what might happen if I wander

It's just a pan of homemade brownies

Kids constantly begging my attention

Way too many things to do

These days all I want is peace and quiet

When he will get home will never be too soon

I mean, they're only homemade brownies,

Just one little pan

They can't be that important

Not as much as he says I am

So I'll just sit here

Only a few minutes longer

Am I still so blinded by the fear

Of what might happen if I wander

It's just a pan of homemade brownies

Are they really so important?

Will the world fall apart without them?

I mean, they're only homemade brownies,

Just one little pan

They can't be that important

Not as much much as he says I am

So I'll just sit here

Only a few minutes longer

Am I still so blinded by the fear

Of what might happen if I wander

It's just a pan of homemade brownies

Just a pan of homemade brownies...

is it just a pan of homemade brownies?..or is it something alot bigger than that? Great use of words to leave the writer with something to think about after.
But I must say... You do have me craving some homemade brownies now. haha
Thanks for the read

Sounds like the brownies are very important.
Great metaphors contained within.
