My Life

Duties abound
Pursued throughout
Golden years of
My life,
Concerned for all
Couldn't care less,

Solicitude is not
The reward,
Emotions betrayed
Snubbing now is
Not acceptable,

The realisation that
It's just me,
Free to live
My own way,
My own decisions
My life,
Nobody else
Would decide.

A winsome situation 
Living to 
Nobody's appeasement,
Frankly my dear,
I don't give
A damn !!
