Things Are Going To Change! Poem by Shelley L Baxter

Infuriating thoughts linger in my mind
as I mention to you to please stop disrespecting
myself and others when we do everything for you!
Still your needs and most wants are taken care of.

You turn a blind eye to almost all that we ask and
unless you benifit from it somehow you disobey us.
You want it All...you change little, You give nothing!
Still your needs and most wants are taken care of.

We change and try new ways of conversing
with you...Reaching out to you but you find
other ways to irritate us and 'spit' in our face!
Still, we are expected to take care of your needs and wants.

If you continue down this road of disobedience,
of shirking your responsibilites and showing apathy,
we will no longer allow or accept your behavoir...
Soon, You will take care of your needs and wants!
