My time (and yours)

By ShelleyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Say it with me now...

"It's MY turn."

Time for MY smile & MY happy heart... it's time for me to quit falling apart.

Let's say it loud & clear... to all these takers & soul suckers ...

the self righteous fools & 'ur-outta- luckers',

It's a new day & there's a new promise to be made.

A promise of self preservation & care,

a promise to return to them, at least their fair share.

Fed up, no doubt, but not backing down.

Sick to death of wearing a frown.

Here & now, it should it be known;

They need to step down from that self-proclaimed thrown;

I'm my own person, & I'm good enough, even alone...

Remember, We all live in glass houses & must mind our own stones.

About the Creator

Shelley

I’m creative in many ways, as you will see I’m sure. I enjoy simple beauty & oddities... beauty is everywhere. I aim to project positivity and happiness, but I’m not above the darkness either... we all have to go thru it. Keep your head up.
