Get Me Out Of Here

This space is too small.
The screams are too loud.
The banging on my wall has got to stop.
Kids make noise. 

I'm tired of feeling like I must whisper and tip toe.
This is just not working out.
I need a place with some space.
A wall that doesn't connect to anyone else's.

I'd love to breathe.
Just sucking in the air. 
Not worrying if my kids are noisy.
Just enjoying them to the fullest.

I cannot make a toddler stop screaming.
I cannot make the tantrums stop.
It's impossible, so impossible.
But my hair turns gray and my knuckles white.

I have to get out of here.
I have to get out of here.
I have to get out of here.
I have to get out of here.

This space is just too small.
Too many people.
Not enough room to breathe.
This space is too small. 

This is how I feel in this house

  1. I know exactly how you feel and I feel for you. It is torture, feeling like you have to be on edge all the time if they make a noise. If you don't get onto them, or even if you do, you still have to hear it from them.

    I am glad you guys are moving soon. I am sure you will be much happier.
