What Does it Matter

Sometimes, maybe we should just throw in the towel and forget trying to follow our dreams, when it gets right down to it,we are insignificant.



What did I do to make you hate me?
Put pen to paper and
Opened my heart
A futile exercise in trying to
chase away the blues
or share the joy of the moment

Life has a way
Of throwing a us a curve
Just when I think
I have figured out
Where I am
Where I am going
Or even WHO I am
I find that I must start all over
Daughter, wife, mother, teacher,
Caretaker, lover, friend
Does it ever end?
When do I get to be me?
No longer defined by others
But by my heart’s desire
A pipe dream I fear
For I am obsessed with being
What others expect me to be
Funny because
I don’t even know
Who I am anymore
So when it gets right down to it
I am really nothing at all

You are everything and "all". Just take a little time out to treat yourself to peace and quiet, a day out, just a coffee in a quiet place even. The world will still turn around and maybe everyone can help you a little more instead of always giving. If not..just find time for yourself. Be a little more selfish. Really enjoy reading your poetry.
