Me Time

Sometimes...
the only person we can please...
Is ourselves.

I have spent ample time pondering this
Over glasses of Blackberry Wine...
And Meditative Spliffs...
As I wondered how I squandered
so many of my gifts...

Wearing myself out on others...
That... is how I did it
wasting valuable energy
on fuckers who don't care...
as I contemplate this with my teeth gritted

I've been told...
I have caretaker's syndrome...
Well...
I think it's high time
I leave caretaking the hell alone.

I now realize...
I have to take care of me
I have to replenish my OWN soul
and leave the leaches and vampires be...

Yep...
I can hear them wailing now...
from inside their miserable pit
well... wail on my lovely "need more friends"
Cause as of now...I'm not doing shit!

Nothing else am I willing to give
No more Soul Sacrifice...
How about some reciprocity ...
hell... THAT would be nice.

No one can just give all the time
this is a lesson I have just learned...
There are times when its okay to give  of yourself...
and... other times it should be  earned

So "Need More's" from the pit...
I hope you've enjoyed what I gave
No more crossing the line...
For as of now...
I'm kicking it "Gungam Style"
Getting some well deserved...
Me Time!!
