No Longer "Just Do It"

Some days I don't know why I try?
It seems if I care I am wrong.
If I back off I am callous.
I want to be there yet I get the impression I am interrupting.
Tried to figure out way to have a break.
It is back firing.
Want to have people safe.
Not for me to say or do.

I don't know.
I can clean, feed, wipe and sweep.
I am alone.

I try to shoulder the burden.
And fail!

The more I am putting out there,
the more I am screwing up.
I think I am going to go back into hiding.

Easier, less hurt and not in any one's way.

I guess what we learn is for a reason.
Taught for over 30 years to be quiet, not be noticed and compliance is the key.

  5. I am sorry that you are feeling this way. I wish I could say something insightful and/or helpful. At least something funny to make you smile. I will just send big warm hugs. You are a cool person. Just be. As for the ones who don't appreciate you, remember the great line from a movie I never saw: "F* 'em, they're trash."

  7. You are not alone. Sometimes it's hard to think that anything you do matters... but it does.

    Hugs.

  8. Hey Hey Hey - YOU ARE IMPORTANT therefore YOU MUST BE NOTICED and MUST NOT be compliant. EVERY PERSON IS WORTHY OF FEELING SPECIAL FROM TIME TO TIME!

    I don't know what happened to make you feel that you aren't worthy but you need to wipe that thought OUT of your mind.

    HUGS. I hope things are better real soon.

You know how special that makes me feel?
Like I swallowed the moon and the stars and I just shine now!
