For ME!


She woke up ...
She awoke from self-inflicted oppression out of the blue-
"I don't want any more to do domestic work ...
And I don't want to do what others always want me to do!"
She declared firmly.
She blurted without hesitation.
Just like that ... it was over-
Cleaning up and putting away dishes
Sorting, washing, folding or pressing clothes
Dusting window ledges, tabletops and counters
Making and re-making beds
Tidying floors and showers
Scrubbing tub and toilet bowls
Keeping the floors of the house swept
Picking up toys after kids' play
Making rooms pleasant to live in
"Enough of toils!"
"Enough of diligence!"
"Enough of everything!"
"Enough of anything for anyone!"
"I choose what I want for ME … now!"
