Burden

With many burdens on her shoulders A family to feed, she sometimes feels like her end is getting closer; but with so much stress that even in death there would be no closure. She has been faced with so many trials and tribulations that she fails to connect her problems with her friends and family relations. She gives, gives, and gives... They take, take, and take Never once thinking our giver, may need a break, before she breaks She's a wife, mom, sister and daughter She's a provider for her mother, brother sister, and all the others "Mom I'm hungry, and can you buy me a doll" I'm at work ask your dad to feed you, sorry got to go I'm on a call "Sis I know I don't have my license, but can I borrow your car" NO YOU CAN'T! (whispers) but the spare keys are in the drawer "I'm your dad - let me borrow some cash, I promise I'll pay you back fast." Yeah sure, that's what you said the last time I gave you cash. Here, take it, but remember this time - you promised to pay me back fast. She gives, gives, and gives... They take, take, and take Never once thinking our giver, may need a break, before she breaks She creates her own troubles by not saying no. By not confronting any issues and just letting them go. Her life is destined for concealed anger, regret, disrespect, all due to her friends and family neglect. She's a strong person deep down inside, but it's very hard to find because she covers it up with pride. She says to her self - "I'm the bread winner; They're my family and friends, I'm supposed to allow everything to slide. I'm not the oldest but I am the most mature, and was forced from young to behave, move with a grown-up posture. I'm supposed to keep to myself. I'm supposed to keep everything buried inside. I'm supposed to be the king and queen of my home. I'm supposed to do it all on my own, that's all I've ever known." I reply … you give, give, and give … They take, take, and take Never once thinking, our giver may need a break, before she breaks. And you will break make no mistake You will lash out and say things filled with anger and hate. You will be in a poor mental state allowing you to make incorrect decisions, ones you normally wouldn't make. So, take a deep breath and say to your family and friends… My kindness, my love, my giving nature, are not yours to take, take and take. I need you to share my burden, make no mistake.
