I guess I'm not myself anymore?

It's amazing the things I used to do

the friends I used to have

the places used to go.

being brilliant takes so much effort now.

i guess I'm tired of saving peoples asses

when they should be doing it for themselves.

The passion and generosity so abundantly renewed

has ebbed to drips of self preservation.

i hate my self for this thing I've become

alien to all I love 

a lack lustre being another face in the crowd

and to think I was only happy when it rained.

i like this

i like this one. i like the rant/vent/emotions gone wild. i like how you know what you're feeling, why you're feeling it, and you're afraid to tell it like it is. it's okay to help others, but you have to set boundries. you can't save the world and if you don't set boundries people will use you and take advantage of you. i like your insightfulness. this is what makes you an incredible author.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Sometimes we get to doing soo much for others that God has to give us a good swift kick in the ass to force us to care for #1 & let others start getting up off their lazy behinds...lol!!
