There must be a sign on my head,
That says use me, take advantage,
She'll do it all,
And you don't have to pay homage!

I do it all now,
I cannot do another thing,
I sleep like the dead from exhaustion,
And only more conflict it brings.

Then when ill or unable,
I let everyone down,
It's my JOB to do all this,
With the painted on face of a clown.

But I too am weak!
Other times I'm weary!
I resent having to work like a trojan,
Don't you get it deary?

I do my share and then some,
And what a thankless task,
Yet you barely lift a finger,
When it's something that I ask.

Perhaps I'll go on strike,
Then when NOTHING is done,
You may finally see the light,
When our whole existance becomes undone.

It's 50/50 here,
Not 90/10,
I'm praying you'll be considerate,
And let this selfishness end.

nicely done... sharing the load is one thing that has to happen if there is to be a relationship that has hopes of lasting with respect... I hope the one that inspired this understand that...

ISIS,

I wish I could be helpful. You have been such a pure and true godsend to me. hall I try to help ? YES!! Half a world away you kept me from death. I've gotten the pictures and rights to them, as well as reestablishing what insanely could happen. i climbed that hill with you and yours in my heart and prayers. I'm on my way down now and feel the warmth, I can repay you and yours only with feelings of thanks. I owe you my life, thanks for sharing.
