Best Caregivingworld Poems
By and large I sense they're all reverting
back to primitive indulgences of hobbesian violence, the ferocious world in which they dwell.
They throw cornerstones of their belief system at me, blind sighted rocks dig under my skin.
In defense of love I counterattack.
Pointless to fight their undercurrent of anger,
the immense self hatred from which they teach.
I just see their world as very different,
warm detachment serves me as they seethe.
Maybe the truth is they’re hurting.
Maybe a deeper truth, they only hurt themselves.
Yet I must never interfere with their pain, they are not my burden.
My only goal is to step back.
Mindful to watch their devotion to hateful monsters,
these separated souls I someday hope to reach.
Yet a patient loving mind feels no deterrent,
so I only give them space in which to breathe.
I am adept at many things
My world revolves, nay sings
Multitasking, juggling work and home
Aye I am a woman lo and behold
Not superwoman, not underestimated
For I am almost always understated
With a bounce in my step and a smile on my lips
I play with my kids as I balance their meals
Office and home are both my forte
For I cannot do just naught
Simplistic and altruistic
Not a sought after mystic
My life and my dreams
Just bursts at its seams!
I am woman, nothing is impossible
I speak for one, yet I speak for all
Sauntering with me is just not fun
I run to and fro, until my day is done
Each night when I lay down to sleep
I pray for the Almighty my strength to keep
For I am woman, soft and gentle
With a heart of gold, and oh so sentimental
I am adept at many things
My world revolves, nay sings
She cried, "The whole world is against me!
The whole world hates me!"
I told her, "That isn't true.
Most don't even know you."
