I can't go back

Dalebear, the day I saved you, you saved me too Mamabear xxxxxxx

My life was so boring

I did way too much snoring

I was so depressed

I didn’t feel at all blessed

My life was a big disappointment

I felt like a fly in the ointment

I felt no one wanted me

After I had cooked tea

I was on my own again

It was such a shame

I couldn’t afford to go out

And all the times I cried I’ve lost count

I was so lonely and bored

And totally ignored

My life was sad

But it was all I had

I was all alone

It’s as if I wasn't known

I too can have dark thoughts and feelings

And no smiles or greetings

I was on my own most of the time

My job as a mum and wife was only part-time

I can’t go back to how it was before

My life was such a bore

The days when all I did was cry

Have gone and now my eyes are dry

At last I have blue sky

A happy future is nearby

Don’t ask me to go back to that

I would go as nutty as a bat

I was so sad and blue

That much is true

Do you want me to be like that again?

And find all that pain?

Is that what you are asking?

If you want that for me it is baffling

Don’t ask me to be her again

I couldn’t cope with all the strain

Would everyone be happy if I was her?

I don’t want it to reoccur

When all the family have left the nest

I will have to do my best

To cope on my own

When I am an old crone

But until then I want a life

And not any strife

A couple of hours a day is not enough

I don’t want the rebuff

But I can’t go back

I won’t go back

Is a life too much to ask for?

I really can’t do it anymore!!!
