Ode to woman

Got to make it on my own.... but life still goes on.

Got to wake up
Make up and wear my gown
Every day and every night
My chores weigh me down

Sweep and mop, anxiety arose
Prepare a meal, clean the table
Do the laundry, iron the clothes
My mental health's unstable

Should I give up?
Should I just go?
I've dedicated my life to thee
But I've still got wild oats to sow

I can't take it anymore
This routine's crazy sanity
And I got no sign of recognition
It all seems to fall into vanity

A woman's place, into the kitchen?
This lady's palace, trapped inside the house?
Everyone's expecting things from me
To be a good daughter, mother and spouse?

But still, life's so colourful with you by my side,
So vivid and so filled with love
My family's a rainbow of affection
An ideal lighthouse from above
