Poem
When will I start to realize That I need to stop Stop thinking of everyone else Stop worrying about things That I can’t even control When will I realize that No matter how much effort No matter how much heart It will never be enough for some They will always just want more I have give and give They just take and take Until I have nothing more to give When will they do for me All that I have done for them When will they appreciate All the self-sacrifice When will they stop taking advantage Of my giving, compassionate heart When will someone want to love me Like I always love them When will someone hurt for me The way I always hurt for them When will someone take care of me The way I always take care of them I am tired of giving my all Tired of continuously getting let down I am tired of no one being reliable I am tired of feeling so lonely I am tired of loving And getting nothing in return I am tired of always having to prove Just how much I really do care But it just doesn’t suffice It’s always one more thing Is it so much to ask For someone to really, truly care I need to just stop, stop Stop and start caring for me If no one else will, I need to I need to ask myself what I want I need to worry about me for once Call me selfish all you want Because I am no longer thinking of you Call me selfish all you want Because you are no longer first Call me selfish all you want Because I am going to care about me Because you won’t and never have And because you never will....
