Untitled

you asked me to stay home while you worked. I would take care of the house and the baby. you would give me the money and I pay the bills. I went to school and did the paperwork. I cleaned every room. You told me that you hated your job. So now you stay at home while I work. I still go to school. I still take care of the baby. I still clean the house. I still do the paperwork. I feel drowned by the promises you didn't keep. Your video games wake me from my daydream. Your voice soothes my anger, but it never leaves.
