I Stopped Asking

Thoughts about life.

I never asked for anyone's blessing,
Tears or forgiveness or any guessing.
I didn't ask for you to stay with me,
I'll face everything alone in certainty.

I won't ask you to be at my side today,
Don't much care if you sit and pray.
I don't need someone from my past,
I know already that nothing will last.

I don't ask you to understand me,
What I do or my thoughts in reality.
It's pretty obvious and damn unfair,
That when I go that no one will care.

This is exactly how I feel 95% of the time these days. Your words plod along with a thumping certainty that's strangely lacking an emotional component, but that's the very reason I relate to it so much. At some point, after so many life disappointment & heart crushes, we just turn off that "reactive" switch & start taking life exactly how it comes. Living alone, disabled in the boondocks, I don't ask anybody for anything. Sometimes people do me a favor, but I'm much happier if I'm not hoping for anything. That way, the little kindnesses are so much more precious. I love the way you wrote this in such a straightforward, non-apologetic, accept-me-or-f**k-off way (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Its the way I am now... people made me hard and cold and well with a little bitterness inside. Thanks for the awesome review!
