Another's Load

Sometimes I get tired of being to nice to say no and allowing to be taking advantage of in certain situations where i do all the hard work while some people lay in bed, assuming i will do all theirs 2

ANOTHER'S LOAD

WHEN THE WEIGHT IS HEAVY

UPON YOUR BACK,

LAY DOWN THE LOAD AND

DON'T LOOK BACK.

IT'S NOT YOUR FUTURE,

YOU HAVE YOUR OWN.

YOU CAN'T WRITE SOMEONE

ELSE'S WHEN YOU HAVEN'T 

WROTE YOUR OWN.

YOU DONE ALL YOU COULD

TO PULL THEM THROUGH,

BUT THEY NEED TO CONTRIBUTE,

NOT LEAVE IT TO YOU.

SO GRAB YOUR LOAD,

LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD.

LEAVE BEHIND THOSE

ENSCONCED IN THEIR BED.

GO GET WHAT YOU WANT-

REGARDLESS WHAT'S SAID.

ALLOW NO MORE OF YOUR 

NATURE TO BE MANIPULATIVELY 

BLED, AND LETS SEE HOW FAR 

THEY GET FROM THEIR BED!

Author's Note

IM FINALLY PUTTING MY FOOT DOWN ON ABUSERS OF MY NATURE. I HAVE ENOUGH OF MY CRAP!

i don't blame you...we have to be able to make our own way...and that is really hard to do when we are making every body else's way...when we are constantly being used and let ourselves be...we put the old foot down and say "it's now all about me...and taking care of me"---

yep, there is only so much a person can do but if your going to be lazy there will be a point where it has to stop and they carry their own weight..or at least try to iss how i like to see it

[Lydia Shutter]

Yes, we have to make successes of ourselves. We can not compare ourselves to others. Setting goals for yourself and then achieving them is the way to go. It's good to help others, but not those who expect you to do it all for the. Empowering words. Lydi**

Three times in my life. I reached a dead-end. I left the place and create a better one. I like the energy and positive feel of your words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I'm old. I must accept my ending. I'm well. Three grandchildren and heading toward retirement. You are welcome.

[Inject Positivity]

absolute truth.... i completely agree with you with the message of this poem....
"Go get what you want
Regardless what said.
Allow no more of your
Nature to be manipulatively
Bled and lets see how far
They get from their bed. " these lines blew my mind.... A lovely courage building write dear frnd....sometimes its better to say no rather than saying yes all time to the ones who doesn't deserve our help and takes advantage of our innocence.... awesome.... full ratings... a new type of write from you and i thoroughly enjoyed it....

[hcarson]
