True To Self
Start my day with cup of coffee.
Make a list of things that could be.
Checking off items one by one,
Keep working until most are done.
–
Doing work for personal cause.
Asked to help didn’t stop to pause.
Cause is one that’s close to my heart,
Never stopped once since I had start.
–
Leaving house in sheer disarray.
Will clean up on less busy day.
Clothes to iron, pile left undone.
Shopping trip, for groceries, not run.
–
Still felt great when arrived at home.
Great helping others as I roam.
Then received such a sad surprise
Find at home, my family cries.
–
Feel my time is their right to own.
For offense want me to atone.
They have needs, I must attend them.
From what place do these thoughts stem?
–
Must have spent too many long nights
Taking care of family’s plights.
No respect is now my reward.
True to self shouldn’t be this hard.
