I'd Like a Break

Today's One-Minute Writing Prompt: Break

What responsibility do you have that you'd really like a break from?



I'D LIKE A BREAK

I'd like a break from being an adult
All the work and struggles of life
Dirty dishes, cooking meals, endless paperwork and calls
Trying to make things run smooth and be the supportive one

I want to be a kid again
Happy, joyous and free
With not a worry in the world
My future shining before me

I'd like a break from people depending on me
Or saying I'm strong, or I know best
Deep down I want to depend on someone else
More content to follow 'cause I'm definitely not a leader

I want to be a kid again
Hiding behind Momma's skirt
Depending on Daddy to make it right
My future shining before me

I'd like a break from worry and stress
Wondering if all the problems big and small
Will work themselves out in the end
Or if chaos and havoc will sink their roots in deep

I want to be a kid again
No worry, no stress, no grief
Daydreaming all my problems away
My future shining before me

I'd like a break from my constant complaining
I know I can't go back
So I'll be content with the life I lead
'Cause it's the one one I've got
