I wish you were in my shoes

by Christie - Aries

How lucky you are
even though you don't seem to notice.
I envy you
and you don't realize why
you complain constantly about your life
you say it's so pathetic and a waste of your time
You complain about your husband
and about your kids
atleast you have someone to share your life with
You say you miss those single days
going out to clubs going to parties with your friends
having a great time
only thinking of yourself
sleeping around one night stands
Freedom
you complain that you hate staying home
you are always there
you despise laundry and house work
cooking dinner an
and making love
to the same man
you say he suffocates you
with his need to express intimacy
you say he always wants to cuddle
and kiss you
you tell me your kids are always around you
constantly asking something from you
wanting you to tell them a story
to sing a song
that just isn't you
your a dreamer an explorer
you want to be out in the great wide open
you tell me I'm so lucky
that I have my own life
no one to depend on me
That I can go home to an empty house
a quiet house
sleep as late as I want to
buy things for myself
I can date whoever I want
right lucky me
You tell me I have all the time in the world
not a single worry
I should be happy
that my life revolves around me
I just don't get it though
you spend your days and your nights
wishing you were out there alone
freedom
that is what you seek
you wish you had my life
you want to be like me
you have no idea how lonley I am
I keep praying someday I could have the problems you have
