You expect from me, 
All that could be expected 
How I bring food to the table
Always goes unstated.
And work like labour
Struggle for my kin
But you have little time to ask me,
How have I been?
You wish to control me,
Say yes to whatever is said
Oh how you make me restless 
Every now and then.
I should nod at your will 
And behave like a bin
But you have little time to ask, 
How have I been?
To live up to everyone’s 
expectations
Drives me insane
And then I wonder if my 
helplessness
Is the root of all pain.
