Memoirs of a Single Mom (Part 5)

Too old for this
Get up off the floor
Put that down
Get down from there
Give that back
Stop screaming
Please, please stay quiet.

Too young for this
Back pains and headaches
Work 5 days, 11 hours
No time to even clean
Bills, bills, pay, pay
A little here, a little there
None for me.
No, never for me.

Too much for too little
Head not on straight
Can I sleep here with you?
Eyes get heavy
Light breathing from a little face
Maybe it's worth it.
