“We, the unwilling,led by the unknowing,are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much,for so long,with so little,we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.”

You’ve given all the signs
But at the same time
Made minimal effort
I think this is real
But can’t help but suspect
Is it just another play on my heart
In relationships
I am my worst enemy
Constantly doubting and analyzing
For fear of falling for the same trap
Making the same mistakes
For the fear of being used and taken advantage of….again
