You put yourself out for people
and they **** all over you and
you know that's true in a lot of cases.

I'm fukin tired of putting myself in that position
so I'll be putting myself out for the family and
nobody else.

The bonus being
I'll be freeing up a lot of time
getting re-acquainted with some
old friends of mine
and taking care
not to fall into the trap of
breaking my back for those
who don't give a ****
about me and only look out
for themselves.

wonder now
if this counts as poetry
or counts against me

only you can say.
