Toquyen Harrell Poet Free verse

That Person Is You

The person you care for is yourself
What?  Don't believe me?
Of course you care for your family
your children, your loved ones
But ultimately that person is yourself
So don't talk about put others before you
That's a bunch of baloney
You can't put others before you
That's backward
And that's only getting you in trouble
When did you ever do that?
Don't
Life consists of only you
And God
And nobody else
Yeah
Comprehend?
God puts people in your path
to empower you, to develop you
But ultimately the person He wants to use is you
He will develop you, train you
And envelope you
He will do whatever needed to get you going
God concerns only you 
And that you take care of yourself
And let others take care of you
Haha not
