My life that's just so hectic
Is far from calming down
Stress levels overflow
Aggravated by every sound.
My head like a volcano
ready to errupt to the max
what I wouldn't give for
Just one day to relax.
No kids yelling, "Mommy"
Laundry that's already clean
A house so immaculate
Not even dust is seen.
Dishes washed and put away
The floors all nicely swept
Everything in its place
Exactly where its kept.
A massage for the body
Jacuzzi for the mind
A drug to make me stressless
It doesn't matter what kind.
Slave-free environment
No duties to acquire
Living just ONE day of freedom
To do what I desire.
Perhaps I wake up feeling lazy
Or I wake up wanting to shop
It will be my choice to do
whatever until I drop.
If the house turns to chaos
Or crashes to the ground
At least I'll know that when it did
ONE day of freedom I had found.
