Overworked and Underloved: Story of an average woman.

A buzz of activity around me
I always find myself at the centre.
People are always in constant touch,
But to the depth of my heart rarely do they enter.

'you're resourceful and skilled,
We need you', they all say.
I wonder if I get to hear
' We want you', one fine day.

I may work like a well oiled machine,
Catering to my family's every need.
Without wasting a breath I meet deadlines
So that in my career to I succeed.

It's tough being a woman,
Getting stretched in infinite ways.
But a part of me still believes
I'll get some love, maybe some space.
