Poem: "Over Me"

I'm always taking care of you.
I'm always overlooking me.
I'm always there for you.
I'm always concerned about you.
I'm always taking care of you.

I'm always crying for you
but not for me.
I'm always loving you
but not for me.
I'm always taking care of you,
but not for me.

I'm always taking care of you.
I'm always overlooking me.
I'm always there for you.
I'm always beside you.
I'm always putting you over me.

A great woman named Susan inspired me to write this poem. She said that there are ignorant people in her life and that it's time for her to grow some backbone and start putting her foot down. I was more happy for her, than proud because her life is about to get much better. Although, not for all those ignorant people! Taking care of those who you love is not wrong, however not taking care of yourself is. At some point in your life you have to recognize who the people are that appreciate everything that you do and risk for them. If you can take care of them, they should be able to take care of you; If nothing at all.
