Laughter in the other room

I hear their laughter
in the other room
and I am drawn, drawn
Away

Away from the tasks
I must perform.
The bed
The dishes
The shower and more
They can wait...can't they?
The voices sound so carefree
So happy
So beckoning
But the voices are just the
Empty
Mindless
Echo of powder puffs
Calling
Calling
Me away from what I
Really want to do for
My home
My family
My serenity and peace
