Using The Mind Over Matter


There are visits from the users
They will come along to chew
Ignorant of your own needs
Leaving you melancholy blue

You have calls from the takers
Those self centered with greed
Thinking only of themselves
Its never what you might need

Some tug at those heartstrings
Often for their own selfish gain
They start speaking of love
Yet leave heartaches and pain

Not forgetting the game players
Usually its the no win situation
Sqeezing out every emotion
Used for their own gratification

Its best to use mind over matter
With all those mentioned above
Those that think only of ego
They will never know of true love

Hiya and Good Morning to you

This was well done, and very sad, and I'm so sorry there are people as such who are so mean and cruel...but on the upside, and something I've learned, "we" get to choose our friends...so, discern and listen to that very intelligent little voice inside...

Hugs to you Hope and thank you for sharing this all to wise and true darker side of society....

LeeJ is right. Free will allows us choice and that goes for whom you allow into your life. I have found that when I am a blessing to others, I am blessed.  It is so sad that the people (or person) you describe here doesn't get it.

You get what you give in this life.  This is not some clever play on words.  The takers who never give will never receive the blessings meant for them.

A touching write and a gentle reminder to me to always be a blessing to others.

Patricia
