Fucked off.

Do you ever feel your just there for other people

to do what they say and they want.

Never for your own self.

Just a servant for someone else.

As they always want something

from you.

Like a dog with a waggling tale

you are sitting waiting for the

next order to be said.

Sometimes dear Dawn, But in truth I am a fixer... always looking for another fix:) every once in a while i have to remember that a broken bunny cant fix a thing and better point that fixing attention back at himself...in other words make sure you love yourself too:)

[Onlyme]

OH Bubby you are top on that is me. i try to fix folk by helping and sorting them out. Putting them before myself, always have done. And now as I get old I think, my time.

[Robert Trakofler]

I feel as though you rushed this poem by not paying attention to the proper punctuation and spelling 'there', which should be in your first line, wrong. 'Their', which should not be in the first line, is a possessive third person plural personal pronoun.
From the first line to the end of the third line is a rhetorical question and should have a question mark.

However, the context of the poem is fully well understood.

Well done!

i know exactly what you mean. i've encountered it my entire life. it's up to us to say "No". we will not be a door mat for others ... :)

Hugs for your day, dear Dawn. If you smile a few and then say, 'Sorry, have to say no, this time.. but, if you come back next year, might be able to help.' People will take advantage if they can, tis called selfishness and downright bad manners.. don't encourage it BUT don't let yourself become riled/annoyed or whatever cos you're sinking to their levels. And yes, it damned well hurts to be treated like a servant but stand proud and don't use words like 'fucked off' cos you have far more imagination than that!! :)

Yes, Dawn... I think most share this experience. Interesting use of the dog here. They’re much better at playing “fetch.” We don’t do that well, nor should we. You certainly convey a pain and frustration here, especially in the title.

Frequently Dawn, frequently my friend. In my household, and wider circle I can find myself there. But then, there will be flowers or chocolates or an I love you, or you are the best and it sort of puts things back in perspective. A realistic poem. Hope you are OK.

Yeah thats true sometimes we do feel like were being pulled along by someone else. but then its your choice to break that chain. thoughtful poem.

Hard topic. I raised four children and now I have three grandchildren. I hate the silence house. I use to cook, now no-one to cook for. Sometimes house is so damn quiet. I love when the grandchildren are here. I cook the food they like and I like the house filled with noise. We may feel like servants, one day, we may have no-one to take care of. I do get tire sometimes. But I smile and move on. Hello dear Dawn and thank you for sharing your words and thoughts.

Okay Dawn, was going to ask you to get me a box of bud, but maybe I'll get you a bottle of wine instead.
Hate people taking advantage.
