maybe
there are those you let
in and out of your life
and they suck out of you
everything last thing
you have to give
your soul, your sunshine,
even your self respect
they do this all the while
making you feel guilty, a burden
for asking for anything in return
and making you feel like
you agreed to the plan
and then don't even show the
desire or mutual respect
to even attempt to give back
what you need or desire
a one sided, very convenient
existence - twisted at that
maybe, I'll try it some time
maybe, if I decide to become
selfish, self-centered
maybe if I decide to think
only of number one for once
maybe, if I get tired of trying
to meet people in the middle
maybe, if I wake up some day
and just stop caring
maybe, just maybe
hell, I've learned from the best
maybe, but probably not

Ah, I have faced so may such people. But, I continue to not expect anything and be subjected to being hurt, but not quite getting hurt as I am immune to it. Even the most simplest of your writings speak volumes. Lovely! Keep up your great work!!!
Thank you so much...how do you keep yourself immune? by just not expecting?
Noelle, since I was a kid I stopped expecting, and had even been scared and scarred from dreams. It has been difficult. But, I manage to do so. Lord Krishna advices that one must simply do good things as a part of his/her duty as a human being, but never expect anything back in return. When expectation arises, and you receive something comparatively lesser than your expectation or nothing at all, it hurts even more. Also, there is a tag that you've helped the other individual strictly in return for something.
I am human. And, I used to expect. But, not any more.
I hope I am clear here. Keep on writing!!!
