My Life?

Whose life is this?
Because it surely it is not MINE.
If it were, wouldn't it be MY opinion that matters?
MY concerns that concern YOU?
MY wants and needs being considered?

Whose life is this?
I thought it would be US living in the new house?
So shouldn't it be OUR wants and needs?
Shouldn't it be what WE talked about?
So why does none of it matter anymore?

Whose life is this?
Isn't it I who takes care of OUR children?
Our home now.
Keeping MY sanity when YOU are gone
And doing everything on MY own.

Whose life is this?
That every time I turn around, YOU change YOUR mind.
I wonder why, then find out YOU had talked to YOUR parents.
THEY are 'concerned' about ME being to 'far away'.
Haven't WE been 'far away' the last four years?

Whose life is this?
That now everything I thought YOU knew about ME, means nothing?
That I am terrified of all the changes.
But yet I can't talk to YOU about it, even though YOU talk to THEM?
Who am I to talk to then?

Whose life is this?
Surely it is not mine.
Because I have been shut out.
MY opinion has been ignored.
MY voice is no longer heard.

  No, this is not MY life anymore..
      wake me up when it's MY turn to live it again..
