Meekness a Weakness

Meekness a Weakness?
Written: by Miracle Man
7/19/2019

Many have taken advantage,
Of my willingness to assist.
If guilt feelings ever arose,
 They were quickly dismissed.

While their next hackneyed story, 
They were re-engineering.
They saw themselves as shepherds, 
And I, a sheep for shearing.

Others have taken from me,
And often given to a friend.
As I’ve remained closed mouthed,
Not wishing to offend.

Many times I’ve only existed,
When they needed money.
Which has left my day gloomy,
As theirs became sunny.

They always say borrow,
While having no intent to repay.
Some just open their mouth,
And their intentions betray.

The heart God placed in me,
Has been filled with meekness.
And it hurts me to think,
Others view this as a weakness.

“Not everyone will appreciate what you do for them.
You have to figure out who’s worth your kindness
And who’s just taking advantage”
