The balancing act is what every woman is trying to ace
in a world thats running at its very own pace
One which doesnt allow one to simply loose face
How nice it wld be just to say I’m not in this race !
But no matter how we feel , to various demands we kneel,
Be it kids, parents,work or social commitments
We are eventually making various adjustments
To fit it all in is always the agenda cause otherwise we feel like we’ll lose our splendour
Why oh why ,must we have it all ?!
If we dont why cant we still stand tall ?!
What will happen if we just take a day off doing nothing?!
What will happen if we dont shower on time and the hair is unkempt?!
What will happen if our homes are not spic n span ?!
This all we fear but.. Woman my dear,
Ever wondered what will happen if ourselves we ignore ?
We will be living but not alive
We will be present in person but absent in mind
We will feel accomplished but not happy
Its time we pause… Make’ourselves’the cause !
Its ok .. We can still pick up the straws!
Go meet that friend that makes you smile
Go run that extra mile
Take that class …dont let your desires always pass
No explanations No apologies
Its ok to just be who you are… You are enough !
